What happened
The Security Service of Ukraine uncovered Federal Security Service reconnaissance activity and treason, and conducted strikes on defense forces locations in Kramatorsk. Separately, a drone struck the Security Service of Ukraine directors office in Kyiv, an incident the Ukrainian leader blamed on Russia. Furthermore, the Security Service of Ukraine and Ukraine’s Military Intelligence were involved in a shootout in Kyiv while preventing an alleged terrorist act prepared by the Federal Security Service.
Why it matters
The ongoing antagonistic operations between the Security Service of Ukraine and the Federal Security Service indicate continued high-level intelligence conflict. Strikes against defense forces locations and coordination centers introduce operational risk and increase security costs for military and state infrastructure.
The Federal Security Service successfully recruited an official from the Security Service of Ukraine who was connected to the defunct Party of Regions.
