According to him, “a wide range of individuals and organizations” are involved in work to the detriment of Ukraine.
“Recently, there has been one interesting point. If earlier they focused exclusively on top officials, now they are looking for agents everywhere. They have changed approaches to recruiting,” Bakanov explained.
He noted that in less than a year, the SBU stopped the activities of five agent networks and detained 12 agents of the Russian special services.
The special service also prevented seven terrorist attacks and detained 10 people involved in their preparation, Bakanov said.
Relations between Russia and Ukraine soured in 2014 when Russia occupied Crimea and began an armed aggression in the east of Ukraine. The fighting is between the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the one hand and the Russian army and Russian-backed militants who control parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions on the other.
Officially, the Russian Federation does not recognize its invasion of Ukraine, despite the facts and evidence presented by Ukraine. According to the UN, during the conflict about 13 thousand people died.
