The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has detained the head of the agency’s counter-terrorism department, who is suspected of working for Russian intelligence, SBU head Vasyl Maliuk announced on Feb. 12.<\/p>\n

While the agency did not reveal the suspect’s name, the Kyiv Independent’s SBU sources identified him as Colonel Dmytro Koziura.<\/p>\n

The suspect’s illicit activities were documented in 14 separate cases, according<\/a> to Maliuk. The SBU chief emphasized that the operation to uncover and detain him required “all possible overt and covert methods.”<\/p>\n

The case sheds light on Russian efforts to infiltrate and undermine Ukraine’s security services amid the full-scale war that broke out in 2022.<\/p>\n

“In the process, we managed to document the collection and transmission of relevant information to Russia,” Maliuk added. The suspect was said to be working with Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).<\/p>\n

“Using encrypted software bookmarks, we penetrated the traitor’s gadgets \u2014 mobile terminals and computers. We basically lived with him and conducted audio and video monitoring,” the SBU chief added.<\/p>\n

The SBU<\/a> head described the operation as part of an ongoing internal purge and warned that no Russian infiltration attempts would succeed. Further details of the case are expected to be released soon.<\/p>\n
