Ukrainian special forces from the National Police's KORD unit have killed a shooter who attacked a supermarket in Kyiv, with video footage now showing the police response during the incident. The shooter, identified by Ukrainian media as Dmitry Vasilchenkov, opened fire on passersby, killing at least two people and wounding five others before barricading himself inside a Velmart supermarket with hostages. The newly released video captures the chaotic moments as police officers reacted to the shooter gunning down civilians, though the exact timing of the footage relative to the full incident timeline remains unclear. Ukrainian authorities have not provided additional details about the police tactics shown in the video, but the shooter was ultimately neutralized by KORD special forces.
