A top Ukrainian spy was gunned down in Kyiv in broad daylight Thursday in an attack being blamed on Russia, reports said. 

Sources told Ukrainska Pravda that an unknown individual approached Col. Ivan Voronych of the Security Service of Ukraine around 9 a.m. local time and shot at him five times with a pistol before fleeing the scene. A video purportedly showing the ambush depicted a man being attacked while walking to a vehicle outside an apartment building. 

“A criminal investigation has been opened into the murder of an SSU employee in Kyiv’s Holosiivskyi district,” a spokesperson for the Ukrainian agency told the outlet. “The Security Service and the National Police are taking comprehensive measures to establish all the circumstances of the crime and bring those responsible to justice.” 

Voronych suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Ukrainska Pravda. The colonel led a division within Ukraine’s security service that focused on high-level special operations and counter-terrorism, The Telegraph reported.
