Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has fired the head of Ukraine’s domestic security agency, the SBU, as well as Ukraine’s top prosecutor. During a televised address, Zelensky said dozens of officials who worked in the SBU or under the prosecutor had committed treason by collaborating with Russian forces.
President Volodymyr Zelensky: “Such an array of crimes against the foundations of the national security of the state and the connections detected between the employees of the security forces of Ukraine and the special services of Russia pose very serious questions to the relevant leaders. Each of these questions will receive a proper answer. Today I made the decision to dismiss the prosecutor general from office and to dismiss the head of the Security Service of Ukraine.”
