Ivan Voronych, a SBU colonel who was shot dead on July 10 in Kyiv, played a key role in the capture of parts of the Kursk region by Ukrainian troops in August 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This<\/span> was reported by<\/span><\/a> the New York Times.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is noted that Voronych began his career in the SBU in the mid-1990s. At that time, he commanded a special operations unit known as the \u201cFifth Directorate,\u201d which received technical support from the CIA.<\/span><\/p>\n

In particular, this unit was responsible for a high-ranking Russian separatist commander under the pseudonym \u201cMotorola\u201d \u2014 Arsen Pavlov.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to former head of the Security Service Ivan Bakanov, Voronych has been involved in countering Russian aggression since 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the full-scale invasion, Ivan Voronych became part of the unit responsible for operations in the “gray zone.” In addition, his unit was responsible for the offensive into Kursk, as a result of which Ukrainian troops managed to capture part of the region and control it for eight months.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If the motive is a murder on the grounds of everyday life, that’s one thing. But it could be a public execution carried out by Russians, which is completely different and will require a set of immediate measures from the SBU,” Bakanov emphasized.<\/span><\/p>\n

We will remind you that on Wednesday, July 10, in Kyiv, Colonel of the Security Service of Ukraine Ivan Voronych was killed<\/a> . The attacker shot the man several times at close range.<\/p>\n
