The SBU made this statement to Ukrainian media when discussing Russian targeting of SBU agents for treason: “SBU employees were also front-runners in such cases, which indicates a tendency towards self-purification of the Service. By exposing such situations, rather than hiding them, we are implementing a course to build a modern and effective special service capable of countering a strong enemy that harms the state security of Ukraine.”
