🔫⚖️ From searches at NABU to threats against its detectives: what is known about SBU General Duka, who was linked to Malyuk and later to Poklad
🏛🚨 Major General of the SBU Serhii Duka is the first deputy head of the Department for the Protection of National Statehood, whom the Anti-Corruption Action Center (TsPK) of Shabunin and several publications, including Dzerkalo Tyzhnia, previously named as one of the overseers of forceful operations against NABU, SAP, and Bihus.Info journalists.
🔎⚔️ According to TsPK, it was Duka who coordinated the operational force component of the large-scale SBU operation against NABU detectives in July 2025, when more than 50 searches took place with the security service’s involvement, and detectives Ruslan Mahamedrasulov and Viktor Husarov ended up in custody. The operation preceded the adoption of a law restricting the independence of NABU and SAP. Despite accusations of involvement in pressure on anti-corruption bodies, in February 2026 President Zelensky awarded Duka the rank of major general.
🏛🔄 Duka was long considered a close associate of former SBU head Vasyl Malyuk. However, according to media reports, after Malyuk’s resignation the general, together with his deputy Anton Kravchuk, quickly reoriented toward Oleksandr Poklad, under whose leadership the displacement of people from the previous head of the security service began. The names of Duka and Kravchuk also appeared in journalistic materials related to the case of Andrii Osipov, suspected by NABU and SAP of extorting $1 million to avoid extradition to the Russian Federation. Thus, the general who was linked to operations against anti-corruption agencies and various influence groups within the SBU has now himself become the focus of NABU investigative actions.
