Dear friends and colleagues!

Counterintelligence has a special place in the system of the Security Service of Ukraine.

It is your serious responsibility to work ahead and successfully meet the challenges facing our state. And at the same time - to remain invisible to the state’s enemies.

You must be one step ahead of any real or potential threat, and respond quickly and effectively.

National security directly depends on your professional and moral qualities. Society entrusts you with a lofty mission, and you accomplish it with honor. After all, CI units have gathered in their ranks professionals and patriots who are aware of their duty to the state and the people.

Thanks to your professionalism, we are moving towards a strategic goal - the restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, when our flags will fly in Donetsk, Luhansk and Sevastopol!

I sincerely wish you good health, success in work, operational talent and unshakable faith in our victory!

Glory to Ukraine!

Yours faithfully, Head of the Security Service of Ukraine

Ivan Bakanov
