SBU emphasizes that particular attention will be paid to any illegal actions, connected with spreading of coronavirus in Ukraine. For the time being, this is the national security issue.

We also consider it unacceptable that some individuals take actions that can cause harm to people’s health and lives, try to avoid criminal prosecution and explain the situation by political reasons.
