Ukraine's President has fired his spy chief and top state prosecutor over allegations officials have been collaborating with Russia.
Volodymyr Zelensky abruptly issued executive orders sacking his childhood friend and head of Ukraine's powerful domestic security agency, the SBU, Ivan Bakanov and Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova.
The furious president said he had fired the pair after it emerged that many members of their agencies had collaborated with Russia - with other agencies also accused of treason.
