“The FSB of the Russian Federation was routed to Ukraine in advance and three days ago committed the murder of an SBU employee, our comrade Colonel Ivan Voronych. As a result of covert investigative and active counterintelligence measures, the enemy’s lair was discovered. During the detention, they began to resist, there was a firefight, so the scoundrels were eliminated. I want to remind you that the enemy’s only prospect on the territory of Ukraine is death!” – noted Malyuk.
