welt.de (German)

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has sharply criticized a shooting exchange between the SBU and HUR intelligence services in Kyiv, calling it an "absolutely scandalous situation" and demanding the prosecutor general investigate. The SBU initially said it prevented a Moscow-directed assassination plot against a Russian opposition figure, but later reported its operatives were attacked during an operation, wounding several assailants who turned out to be military personnel. The wounded attackers were identified as army members under the HUR's command, which oversees Russian volunteer units fighting for Ukraine; the HUR has not officially commented on the incident.
