Surveillance Footage Captures Assassination of Ukrainian intelligence Officer in Kyiv
Taarek Refaat A senior Ukrainian intelligence officer was gunned down in a targeted daylight attack in central Kyiv on Wednesday morning, in what officials and sources describe as a high-level assassination. Colonel Ivan Voronich, a senior operations officer in the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), was fatally shot around 9:00 a.m. on July 10 in Kyiv's Holosiivskyi district, according to multiple sources, including former Ukrainian MP Ihor Mosiychuk. The attacker, reportedly using a pistol equipped with a suppressor, approached Colonel Voronich and fired five rounds at close range before fleeing the scene. The victim, born in July 1974, died instantly from multiple gunshot wounds. 'An unknown assailant walked up to Colonel Ivan Voronich and fired five well-aimed shots at point-blank range,' Mosiychuk wrote on his Telegram channel. 'The officer died on the spot due to penetrating gunshot injuries.' The Ukrainian police initially reported a fatal shooting in the district without disclosing the victim's identity. Confirmation of Voronich's death came later from former Special Operations Forces commander Roman Chervinskyi, who described the killing as a 'devastating loss' for Ukraine's security services. Voronich had reportedly been serving as Chief Operations Officer in the 1st Division of Directorate 16, part of Ukraine's Special Operations Center, since November 2024. His role, according to security analysts, would have involved high-level intelligence missions amid Ukraine's ongoing war with Russia. The incident comes at a time of heightened internal and cross-border tensions, with Ukrainian and Russian intelligence operations often clashing both physically and digitally. In response to the assassination, Kyiv police sealed off the crime scene and launched a city-wide manhunt for the perpetrator. As of Thursday morning, no suspects have been apprehended, and no group has claimed responsibility. Authorities are reviewing surveillance footage and gathering eyewitness testimony to reconstruct the events leading up to the killing. Speculation is already mounting over whether the assassination was part of a broader intelligence conflict. The Ukrainian government has not yet issued an official statement, though internal sources suggest the SBU and military intelligence are conducting parallel investigations. This is one of the most high-profile targeted killings in Kyiv in recent months, raising questions about security protocols for senior intelligence personnel in the capital. read more 2 Most Inspirational Green Projects in Egypt AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT to Strive over Viewership Tonight Egypt Marks 70th Anniv. of 2011 Revolution, National Police Day In Depth: WWE NXT Halloween Havoc In Depth: AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT Tuesday Viewership Strive Videos & Features WATCH: Egyptians Break Ramadan Fasts in Matariya Videos & Features GrEEk Campus Hosts Jobzella Fifth Career Fair Videos & Features 3 Iconic Ramadan Songs of All Times Videos & Features Top 4 Destinations to Visit in Upper Egypt News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Ukraine's SBU EXCLUSIVE by DEEP behind enemy lines, Ukraine's special ops unit marked a turning point in modern warfare after drones blitzed Vladimir Putin's prized bombers beyond repair. Ukraine's Security Service - the SBU - is wiping out the Russian tyrant's war machine with stunning success. In early June, the SBU's It set a new high point for Ukraine's spies - showing incredible ingenuity, reach, and coordination inside a hostile country. The SBU, led by Vasyl Malyuk, Over the three years of the war, the SBU has repeatedly assassinated commanders, bombed key sites, and attacked Putin's beloved bridge in Crimea. Despite Russia being larger, stronger, and holding the cards at the start of the war - it is Ukraine who has carried out a string of daring sabotage attacks. Experts told The Sun why they think Ukraine and the SBU has been able to pull off these attacks - and what they could strike next. Former MI6 intelligence officer Matthew Dunn said Spiderweb showed the SBU were the best spies in Europe. He said: "Being an intelligence officer, there's no static, fixed rule book about what one does." One question the world has been left asking is how Ukraine managed to get the drones inside Russia. The bestselling spy novelist and podcast host at SafeHouse Productions said there is no clear answer. He said: "The commanders involved in this at high level, they would have been very open-minded about how to get these drones into the country." Dunn said SBU spies could have smuggled drones over the border on foot, via parachute, or even a raft - whatever was the safest and easiest way. He said: "The intelligence operation and the officers involved would have been as creative as possible. "The issue is, the more people you involve... the higher the risk of compromise. "Sometimes with these kind of things, risky and daring as they can be, sometimes simplicity is the answer."
