🔥🛡From a triumvirate to Poklad’s monopoly: he is unilaterally taking over the SBU, installing his people and “scorched-earthing centers of resistance,” and his influence is already extending into the GUR, where Ivashchenko is removing Budanov’s people — sources
👥🔐At the beginning of the year the SBU was effectively run by Maliuk, Khmara, and Poklad, but after Maliuk left for a special operation and Khmara was transferred to the Ministry of Defense, the main operational functions concentrated with Poklad. The two deputy heads of the SBU — Andriy Tupikov and Yaroslav Merezhko — UP sources call his people, while the only protégé remaining of Khmara is Denys Kilymnyk. According to the publication, Zelensky previously gave Poklad direct assignments, some of which Khmara did not even know about.
🔄🕵️Less than a month after Poklad moved into de facto leadership of the SBU, chiefs were replaced in eight regions and Crimea, and reshuffles in the central apparatus are being prepared. A UP interlocutor describes the process as building his own vertical and “scorched-earthing centers of resistance.” At the same time, Poklad is closely coordinating with GUR head Oleh Ivashchenko, who, sources say, has already removed many of President’s Office head Kyrylo Budanov’s people from their posts.
