and the head of Ukraine&s security service,& Zelensky said in his daily address to the nation.Zelensky said over 650 cases of suspected

questions to the relevant leaders,& Zelensky said.Venediktova had led Ukraine&s investigation into alleged atrocities committed by Russian
forces in the town of Bucha outside Kyiv, which caused international outrage.The post Ukraine President sacks security chief, top prosecutor
