The State Bureau of Investigation has launched a criminal case, while GUR chief Oleksandr Ivaschenko called for personal accountability, emphasising that this incident should not be generalised to all institutions. It is known that the first to open fire was a fighter from the 'Timur' unit during a search at the apartment of the detained Stepan Kaplunov.
