A Kyiv court on Friday released SBU officer Nazar Verkhola on personal surety in a case stemming from a September 2 shooting involving personnel from Ukraine’s Security Service and military intelligence agency, the GUR. The Pecherskyi District Court appointed the head of the SBU counterintelligence department as Verkhola’s guarantor. Prosecutors had sought his detention with bail set at 1 million hryvnias, accusing him of exceeding official powers while using a weapon. The court’s hearing was held behind closed doors. The incident has triggered an investigation into the confrontation between the two Ukrainian security agencies, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying both institutions must be held accountable.
