🇺🇦⚡️ — The war between the SBU and the Ukrainian HUR (Intelligence Directorate) continues for the second day in Kiev, concerning the fate of Stepan Kaplunov, the deputy commander for combat training of the RDK*.

According to Ukrainian media reports, the incident began with the arrest of Kaplunov by unknown individuals right outside his apartment building. The unknown individuals turned out to be SBU officers, after which HUR special forces arrived to intervene on behalf of their protégé, where they clashed with SBU special forces, resulting in a gunfight, which Kaplunov's former associates lost.

Currently, Ukrainian security forces have blocked Yuri Shumsky Street in Kiev, where the fighting took place, and are now arresting the "negligent" HUR officers. It is reported that at least three of them were injured - one was seen covered in foil in a video.

Interestingly, the SBU attempted to downplay the situation publicly, claiming a joint operation with the HUR to prevent an assassination attempt on "one of the leaders of the Russian opposition movement." However, this entire narrative falls apart when you look at the footage from the scene showing a conversation between HUR and SBU special forces. Notably, the conversation is in Russian.

The situation is extremely ironic: the gunfight between two Ukrainian intelligence agencies was caused by a traitor from Russia. A real-life anecdote about a Ukrainian partisan unit.
