Kyiv court orders pretrial detention for GUR serviceman in SBU shootout case

On September 4 in Kyiv, a court ordered pretrial detention for GUR serviceman Sergei Ivanov, suspected of attempting to kill a law enforcement officer during a shootout with SBU representatives. He was released from custody under personal recognizance. The prosecutor had requested pretrial detention with bail set at 1 million hryvnias. The court held the hearing in a closed session, supporting the prosecutor's request, while defense lawyers demanded an open hearing due to public resonance. The shooting occurred on September 2 during investigative actions in a case about an alleged terrorist plot. The SBU claimed its group was attacked, while a lawyer for a Russian Volunteer Corps deputy commander said SBU officers started the shooting, wounding three GUR servicemen.
