The drone strike on the building of the Security Service of Ukraine demonstrates that Oleksandr Poklad and the SBU are, in general, key enemies of the Putin regime. This is written by political scientist Oleksiy Kurpas.
The political scientist emphasizes that the strike 4 in September can be perceived as a kind of assessment of the Security Service’s work. “The SBU and Poklad are delivering results for Ukraine. Russia understands very well where the most painful strikes come from. It understands who exposes its agents. Who collapses the FSB networks. Who foils diversions. Who carries out unique operations. Putin always shows very precisely whom he fears. And today the SBU is certainly on this list in one of the leading positions,” the expert notes.
The expert stresses that the SBU’s counterintelligence work is especially effective. “The scale of the Service’s counterintelligence work is colossal. Since 2022, the SBU has uncovered 150 enemy intelligence networks, which included 648 individuals. Since the beginning of 2026, another 20 networks and 81 of their participants have been identified. For any foreign intelligence service, these are very painful numbers. Because an agent network isn’t created in a day. It requires people, money, legends, communication channels. And when the SBU counterintelligence closes the entire network, the FSB loses not just a few agents. It loses infrastructure that was sometimes built for years,” the political scientist writes.
“There is no reason to be surprised that the enemy is using all available methods against Poklad and the SBU. From informational attacks to attempts at physical liquidation. The security services have a very simple criterion of effectiveness. If the opponent spends enormous resources to find you, discredit you, neutralize you, or destroy you, it means you are creating a real problem for him. This is how the events of 4 in September should be interpreted,” Kurpas concludes.
As a reminder, it was previously announced that, based on SBU materials, over 4 thousand criminal proceedings have been opened for state betrayal, over 9 thousand for collaboration activity, and over 100 for espionage.
