Voronich was shot dead on July 10 in Kiev – shortly after he left the entrance of an apartment building. The Security Service of Ukraine has announced that the murder was committed by a man and a woman – agents of Russian special services. During the detention, they resisted and were killed, reported in the department.
“The shooting of the SBU Colonel is not the end, but only the beginning,” the statement quoted in a telegram-channel quotes, which is probably connected with the Ukrainian Base Center. In another message, the author of the channel, according to The Guardian, threatened other Ukrainian public figures.
For several months, the base, which was founded in 2018 in the United States and has a network of cells around the world, offered money to their supporters or those who want to participate in murder and attacks on critical infrastructure of Ukraine, according to the publication.
Base is highly active in Ukraine and has performed at least 10 arson of infrastructure and buildings across the country, ”says Stephen Paradise, Analyst of the British Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), which monitors the network of grouping. “They have repeatedly threatened with various terrorist acts, including sabotage and killings of Ukrainian officials.”
According to him, despite the fact that they cannot confirm whether the “base” is “responsible for the recent murder of the SBU employee, this action is quite responsible for what they threatened for several months, and shows the seriousness of the threat they pose.”
The Base was founded by American Rinaldo Ozzzaro, who now lives with his Russian wife in St. Petersburg. He moved to Russia shortly before the group was founded. In 2018, the Base became the subject of the FBI investigation, which resulted in dozens of people arrested, and several countries declared a terrorist organization. Recently, the base, according to the publication, has doubled the efforts of recruiting people in Europe and has created several new cells on the continent. Ozzzaro himself rejects the involvement of the group in the murder of Colonel of the SBU.
