Ukraine’s Zelensky condemns intelligence shootout as Russia pounds Kyiv and Odesa
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called a shootout between two Ukrainian intelligence services "absolutely shameful" as Russia maintains pressure on Kyiv with drone and missile attacks. The clash in Kyiv between the SBU security service and the GUR military intelligence injured three agents, reportedly stemming from a detention dispute. Zelensky ordered prosecutors to investigate and dismissed a senior SBU official, stating only Russians should be fired upon. Russian drones struck central Kyiv for a seventh consecutive day, wounding 11 people, while attacks on Odesa left over 350,000 homes without power. Norway seized a Russian cruise ship over unpaid compensation for Crimea assets.
