Since russia launched its full-scale aggression, the SSU has been investigating over 1,500 criminal proceedings on high treason and espionage. Over 340 of them have been forwarded to court.

For example, as a result of a multi-stage special operation, the SSU detained members of a sabotage and reconnaissance group working for the russian military intelligence.

The SSU exposed the former chief of Mykolaiv District Prosecutor’s Office. After February 24 last year, he voluntarily offered his assistance to the enemy in the war against Ukraine.

The SSU detained a spy - a russian citizen, who arrived in Ukraine in January 2022 to conduct reconnaissance and sabotage activities against our state.
