The SBU during the war became a combat and effective special service, which Ukraine needs-the President on the occasion of the 32nd anniversary of the Security Service

“During the years of the war, the SBU became a truly combat, and most importantly, it is such a effective special service that our country needs both to protect against the enemy and for active actions that reduce the potential of Russian aggression. You find effective enemy counteraction methods. Not all your actions against the occupier can be spoken openly, publicly, but all such actions serve Ukraine, strengthen it and allow you to be proud of Ukraine, ”said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

He noted the farming and accuracy of Ukrainian drones both in the sky and at sea. The head of state expressed gratitude to the SBU for the protection of the country from collaborators, gunners of the enemy and other traitors, as well as with the assistance of investigating the military crimes of Russia. "When you are effective in these investigations, justice for Ukraine and Ukrainians becomes closer," the President said.

Volodymyr Zelensky stressed that Ukraine is now expecting even greater efficiency from the SBU. “Russian warships are no longer a place in the western part of the Black Sea and near our Crimea, but let them lose the opportunity to operate in the East of the Black Sea water area.

Every occupier already clearly understands that they can not feel calm anywhere on Ukrainian soil, but they must lose even more logistics, even more headquarters, warehouses - even more material basis of this war, ”the Head of State emphasized.

He emphasized that special forces of the Center of Special Operations and Counterintelligence of the SBU effectively destroy Russian equipment and invaders, adjust the strikes of Ukrainian artillery, cover the defenders with sniper fire and give the forces of defense of vital intelligence. "Let your successes help Ukraine save even more lives and speed up our victory," the President said.

Volodymyr Zelensky also noted the SBU's actions in the direction of cyber defense and urged to increase Ukraine's shock potential in cyberspace. The attendees paid a moment of silence to the memory of the security service warriors who gave their lives for the sake of Ukraine. He also presented state awards to the SBU employees. In particular, one of them was awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine and passed the Order of the Golden Star.
