President Volodymyr Zelensky announced new personnel decisions at the SBU in connection with Operation "Carthage." He also said that the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine must urgently adopt a bill to restore asset declarations for all SBU employees. The head of state said this in his regular evening address to Ukrainians.
Zelensky said that the SBU's "Alpha" unit inflicts the greatest damage on the Russian occupiers, but "this week brought very different news about the SBU — frankly unpleasant, frankly shameful, absolutely unacceptable things."
"And there have already been dismissals in the Security Service of Ukraine because of this, and there will be other personnel decisions. It is important that the investigation establish the whole truth about this situation, so that the masterminds of the crimes, the masterminds of violence against people, are punished."
"I know that support from partners is needed for this regarding the so-called 'Himprom,' and we have already discussed this with the Americans at the appropriate level. A result is needed. There is information that this criminal has already started his operations in Poland. There is also information that he is trying to bring synthetic drugs into Germany. We will pass on all the information we have to our partners," the president said.
Zelensky also said that on Saturday he approved a bill to restore asset declarations for all SBU employees, "so that their way of life and everything they have are available for checks and accountability." He urged parliamentarians to adopt this law without delay.
4 November, NABU and SAP conducted searches of high-ranking SBU and police officials as part of the special operation "Carthage."
The investigation believes that top officials of the SBU, National Police, and Prosecutor General’s Office were "covering" a criminal organization that ran fraudulent call centers, trafficked drugs, and more.
4 October, SBU head Oleksandr Poklad dismissed two senior Security Service officials who turned out to be figures in the 'Carthage' case.
