💢 A shootout between Ukraine’s GUR and SBU in Kiev may have been linked to a turf war over protection of fraudulent call centers, Strana reports, citing a Ukrainian security-service source.
According to the source, GUR special forces tried to detain unidentified men who had taken Russian Volunteer Corps commander Stepan Kaplunov, only to discover they were SBU officers. After commanders initially defused the confrontation, another SBU team arrived and began detaining GUR personnel, triggering a second shootout.
Strana says casualties were reported. Local channels claim one GUR officer was killed and two wounded. The source suggested the underlying dispute may involve rival security services competing to protect lucrative scam call centers.
