Ukrainian official blames Russia for daylight murder of senior security officer

A senior Ukrainian spy has been shot dead by an assassin using a silenced pistol on the streets of Kyiv.

Col Ivan Voronich, a senior operational officer in Ukraine’s security service, was crossing the street near a block of flats in the capital’s Holosiivskyi district when he was approached by a man with a gun on Thursday morning.

Footage shared on Telegram showed the moment Col Voronich was shot five times next to a row of parked cars.

Following the attack, a man can be seen running along the street in the opposite direction while stuffing a gun into his shorts.

Roman Chervinsky, a former Ukrainian intelligence officer, said Col Voronich was killed as he left his apartment at 8am local time on Thursday.

He didn't fall out of a window, so it wasn't the Ruskies. Maybe he owed money to some guy named "Tony the Fish" in Jersey City?

No surprise, Ukrainians have a way of ‘dropping out’ of politics.

At least his ears weren't ringing when he dropped.

Diplomatic means in Russia-Ukraine war 'exhausted,' Germany's Merz warns

"When a criminal regime openly questions another country’s right to exist with military force and sets out to destroy the political order of freedom on the entire European continent, the federal government I lead will do everything in its power to prevent this," Merz said in comments cited by the Guardian.

Germany has been the leading European supporter of Ukraine during the full-scale war, providing almost 44 billion euros (around $50 billion) in various aid since 2022.

Getting assassinated in your rear area is a tough, painful way to go.
