Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced an investigation into a shootout between two security agencies in Kyiv that injured three military intelligence officers. The clash stemmed from the disappearance of a Russian nationalist activist fighting for Ukraine, who said the SBU security service detained him and forced him to sign a confession. The street fight occurred after his home was searched, with the SBU claiming it was preventing an assassination plot. Zelenskiy stated both agencies acted improperly and will be held accountable, with suspicion notices issued to two servicemen and the head of the SBU's state secrets department dismissed.
