> Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the Kyiv shootout between HUR and SBU officers “absolutely shameful” and ordered internal investigations and accountability, including personnel decisions involving security-service chiefs. He later dismissed SBU official Oleh Khramov. The agencies said the clash occurred during an operation to prevent an alleged Russian FSB-linked terrorist plot.
