Ukraine’s Security Service said Sunday they had killed Russian special service agents suspected of gunning down a fellow officer in Kyiv earlier this week, saying it believed Russia’s Federal Security Service was responsible.

SBU officer Ivan Voronych was shot dead in Kyiv on Thursday morning in what authorities told CNN was an apparent assassination.

The suspects - a man and a woman - tried to “lay low” after the shooting, the SBU said in a statement Sunday.

However, SBU and National Police officers established their whereabouts in the Kyiv region, the statement added.

The head of the SBU, Vasyl Malyuk, said; “As a result of covert investigative and active counterintelligence measures, the enemy’s lair was discovered.”

He continued, “During their arrest, they began to resist, there was an exchange of fire, and the scoundrels were eliminated.”

“I want to remind you that the only prospect for the enemy on the territory of Ukraine is death!” he said in a video, which was apparently filmed in front of the suspect’s bodies.

According to the SBU, the two had been ordered to trail their target to establish his daily routine. They were then directed to a safe house where a pistol with a silencer was waiting for them.

The SBU is Ukraine’s main security service, responsible for both internal security and sabotage operations against Russia. Among others, it was responsible for Ukraine’s audacious drone attack against Russian airfields last month.

Voronych’s killing comes at a time when Russia has been escalating its attacks on Ukraine - this week saw both the largest and second largest drone attack of the conflict, now into its fourth year.

This is where the problem is. The suspects were just disposable agents.

Ofcourse dint even be surprised the same Russians that sent them still gave out their location so they can be wiped out since they are no more of use ..the espionage world is very dangerous

jFrankNorfleet:
The Ukrainians most likely didn't get the spies but just killed two people who were sympathetic to Russia and labelled them the killer of the intelligence chief to control the narrative

Fred2020:
If Russia were that capable, it would not need North Korea and Iran to help with the conflict.
