In the morning of July 10 in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv, the colonel of the Security Service of Ukraine Ivan Voronich was shot dead. The attacker has not yet been found, operative-search measures are ongoing.
This was reported in the SBU and the National Police.
At about 9:00 am shots were fired on Mikhail Maksimovich Street. According to eyewitnesses, the attacker fired at least five sighting shots from a muffler gun. Voronich died on the spot.
After the attack, the attacker fled the SUV in an unknown direction. Investigative groups, criminal investigations, cynologists and other special services arrived in place.
Law enforcement officers opened criminal proceedings under Article 348 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – an encroachment on the life of a law enforcement officer. The attacker’s identity has not been established at this time.
The killed SBU colonel Ivan Voronich is an officer who has been fighting against Russian invaders since 2014. He served in counterintelligence units, in particular in the Department of Protection of National Statehood of the SBU in Lviv region.
The expertist Roman Chervinsky reported that Voronich was one of the initiators of new areas of work of the SBU, who “create many problems for the invaders.” He suggested that the attempt could be a matter of hostile saboteur.
Yuri Mikhalchyshyn, a former SBU employee and the current Officer of Azov, called Voronich a patriot and professional who went to the Donbas one of the first after the Maidan. In 2014, he participated in the detention of the sabotage group “Yamal”.
The SBU, together with the National Police, conducts a set of measures to establish the circumstances of the murder and search of the performer. All versions, including a purposeful attempt, related to the activity of the colonel, are considered.
Earlier, we wrote that information about the murder of the SBU colonel Ivan Voronich appeared on social networks. It happened in the morning of July 10 near the officer’s house.
