Ukrainian authorities on Saturday took action against “traitors” President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his daily speech.
“Today, the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine also did very well: the Security Service of Ukraine, the State Bureau of Investigation, the National Police and our Prosecutor’s Office,” Zelensky said.
“The traitors and various programs that have weakened our country and our Ukrainian society are being fought. And anyone who opposes Ukraine or disrespects the laws of Ukraine must remember that they will face a response.”
The president did not provide details about the action.
However, Ukraine’s intelligence agency SBU and the public prosecutor’s office issued an unusually large number of statements during the day about suspected collaborators and Russian agents who were detained. The statements could not be independently verified.
The SBU, for example, reported the arrest of a department head at a state-owned bank. The bank manager was allegedly involved in financing the war between Russia and Ukraine.
In another case, opposition-leaning TV presenter Max Nazarov was arrested on suspicion of condoning Russia’s instigation of the conflict.
Another report revealed an espionage network run by Russia’s FSB intelligence service. This group is said to have been active in the capital Kiev and Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine. This could not be independently verified either.
Finally, in the Dnipropetrovsk region, the secret service claims to have uncovered a company that allegedly helped Russia build a nuclear weapons development laboratory. Russia, which has nuclear power and has a stockpile of nuclear weapons, accuses Ukraine of seeking such weapons of mass destruction.
