President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky commented on the decision on removing from the duties of the prosecutor general Irina Venediktova and the head of the SBU Ivan Bakanov. This is stated in the evening appeal of the head of state.
He explained that as of today 651 criminal proceedings regarding the state treason and collaboration activities of employees of the prosecutor’s office, pre -trial investigation, and other law enforcement agencies are registered.
“In 198 criminal proceedings, the relevant persons reported suspicion. In particular, more than 60 employees of the prosecutor’s office and the SBU remained in the occupied territory and work against our state. Such an array of crimes against the foundations of the national security of the state and communications, which are recorded between employees of the power structures of Ukraine and the special services of Russia, pose very serious questions to the relevant leaders. Each of these questions will receive a proper answer, ”Zelensky answered.
