A top traitor exposed by the Security Service of Ukraine has been in position since 2016 and had access to numerous operations of Ukrainian special services, says former SBU employee Ivan Stupak. He made these statements during a broadcast on Kiev24.

"He has held this position since 2016 - the head of the SBU Anti-Terrorist Center. He was involved in many sensitive materials regarding special operations conducted at that time in the occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and after the full-scale war began - regarding the participation of Ukrainian special services in active operations in the occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, even on the territory of the Russian Federation," Stupak noted.

He believes that the traitor could have passed on a lot of information to the Russian Federation, which resulted in the failure of certain operations.

"Some operations did not succeed. It’s possible that some of our people were captured precisely because of his activities. But I think that in the near future, we will find out exactly what he was involved in, what specific active measures were compromised. We do not know from when he began working for Russia. I do not believe it was from his first position as a lieutenant. It could have happened in 2016, 2018, or possibly in 2020. The investigation will provide its assessment," commented the former SBU employee.

Stupak emphasized that "this is a serious arrest."

"And undoubtedly, this is a significant loss for Russia in terms of analyzing what is happening within the Ukrainian special service and a loss of ears and eyes for the Russians inside Ukraine," he added.

The investigation must determine from which year he has been working for the enemy and what the grounds were, Stupak noted.

Arrest of the Traitor within the SBU

As reported by UNIAN, today the SBU announced the exposure and arrest of a high-ranking official in its ranks who was working for the FSB. It was noted that this pertains to the head of the Anti-Terrorist Center of the SBU, but details of the special operation will be shared soon.

Sources within the special service informed UNIAN that the traitor turned out to be Colonel Dmytro Kozyura, head of the Anti-Terrorist Center at the SBU.

SBU Chairman Vasyl Maliuk personally participated in the operational-investigative group that was working on the traitor's case and led the operation for his arrest. Maliuk reported directly to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, on all stages of the special operation.

The head of the SBU revealed that misinformation had also been transmitted to the enemy through the traitor for an extended period.
