Things have gotten messy between the two main groups that handle spying and security for Ukraine.
Recently, officers from these two agencies actually started shooting at each other in the middle of Kyiv, the capital city. It was a violent scene that has raised a lot of alarms.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is very angry about it. He publicly called the incident 'shameful.'
These two groups, the SBU and the GUR, are supposed to be working together to help Ukraine win the war. Instead, they seem to be fighting a private war against one another. A video that appeared online, which supposedly shows someone confessing to being involved in the shootout, has only created more questions about what is really going on behind the scenes.
People are now asking how these two powerful groups ended up in such a bad spot. It is a major problem because the country is already fighting a war against Russia. Having internal fights in the middle of a city is the last thing Ukraine needs right now.
Experts and officials are now trying to figure out why the tension turned into a gunfight and who exactly started it. For now, the public is left wondering how these rival groups will get back to work without tearing each other apart.
