The Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defence and Intelligence is to send letters to the Security Service of Ukraine and Defence Intelligence of Ukraine inviting the heads of both agencies to attend a meeting and report on the shooting in Kyiv.
Iryna Friz, an MP from the European Solidarity faction and a member of the committee, said this in a comment to Censor.NET.

According to her, the committee meeting is provisionally expected to take place as early as this week.
"When security officers use weapons to settle scores in the capital during wartime, it is no longer a question of an isolated incident but of the quality of state governance. The authorities should not merely express outrage but ensure the personal accountability of everyone who caused this. Not to mention how the enemy will exploit and spread it," the MP stressed.
