President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. Archival photoMOSCOW, April 1Vladimir Zelensky has decided to strip two senior officers of the Security Service of Ukraine from their ranks. His appeal was published on the YouTube channel of the president's office. According to him, it is about the former head of the Main Directorate of Internal Security of the SBU Andriy Naumov and the former head of the department in the Kherson region Serhiy Krivoruchko.
"Today, another decision was made regarding two antiheroes. Now I don’t have time to deal with all the traitors, but over time they will all be punished,” Zelensky said.
He added that Naumov and Krivoruchko “violated their oath and betrayed their homeland.” Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine 24 February. According to the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces strike only at the military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops and, as of March 25, they have completed the main tasks of the first stage — they have significantly reduced the combat potential of Ukraine. The main goal in the Russian military department was called the liberation of Donbass.
