Dear Ukrainians! Dear colleagues!

The Security Service has been protecting Ukraine from external and internal enemies for 29 years. It gained a truly unique experience during this period.

The annexation of Crimea and war in eastern Ukraine became the rubicon. We realized that if we want to save the country and protect the future of our children, we must become stronger, improve yourself, and act proactively.

So today, more than ever before, the Security Service clearly understands the challenges that Ukraine faces. More importantly, we know how to repel it and successfully apply this knowledge in practice.

We oppose hybrid warfare and international terrorism. We care about information security and protect critical infrastructure. We neutralize hacker attacks and prevent multibillion-dollar losses to the state budget.

However, the main thing is that we are doing everything possible to show that the Law has worked in Ukraine again! Everyone who violated it will be punished.

Each of CI officers, cyber specialists, operatives and investigators, every single SBU employee is doing their best to contribute to the unified team work!

The SBU has many times lost its Heroes during combat operations, but thousands of patriots work there and once again go to eastern Ukraine with dignity and responsibility. We have enough determination to defend the country in the east and in peaceful cities. We will gain a victory! 

Every SBU employee is a representative of the nation who develops together with their country, strives to be strong and successful!

Thank you for your service!

I wish you good health, strong will and faith in the future! Peace and harmony to you and your families!

Glory to Ukraine!

Sincerely,

Head of the Security Service of Ukraine Ivan Bakanov
