Exposed by the Security Service of Ukraine, a high-ranking traitor has been in his position since 2016 and had access to many operations of the Ukrainian special services, says former SBU employee Ivan Stupak. He made this statement during a broadcast on Kiev24.

"He has held this position since 2016 - head of the SBU Anti-Terrorist Center. He was involved in many sensitive materials regarding special operations 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 within the territory of the Russian Federation," Stupak noted.

He believes that the traitor could have conveyed a lot of information to the Russian Federation, which led to the failure of certain operations.

"Some actions did not succeed. Perhaps some of our people were captured specifically because of his activities. But I think that soon we will learn exactly what he was involved in, which specific active operations were compromised. We do not know from what time he started working for the RF. I do not believe it was from his first position - as a lieutenant. It might have started in 2016, 2018, or perhaps 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 the RF in terms of analyzing what is happening within the Ukrainian special services and a loss of ears and eyes for the Russians inside Ukraine," he added.

The investigation must determine since what 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 worked for the FSB. It was noted that this concerns the head of the Anti-Terrorist Center of the SBU, but details of the special operation will be provided shortly.

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 developing the case against the traitor 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 mentioned that misinformation was also transmitted to the enemy for a long time through the traitor.
