Ensuring security in Ukraine in its broadest sense is the major priority of the state today, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at the wrap-up meeting of the board of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) held in Kyiv.
This was reported by UA with reference to the website of the Office of the President.
“Ukraine’s security has a broad sense. These are protected borders, protected critical infrastructure, protected economic and energy independence,” the President said, delivering his speech.
Reviewing the achievement of the year, the President said that the Security Service of Ukraine has finally ceased to be a nightmare for business, and this was noted by a representative of the Business Ombudsman Council, and “became a nightmare for traitors, separatists, smugglers” and other thieves who were sanctioned under the decisions of the National Security and Defense Council.
“In this regard, I would like to thank you for the important information and proposals for the National Security and Defense Council meetings. We have done many important things to protect our security, which should have been done in 2014,” Zelenskyy said.
Zelenskyy called the protection of national interests and statehood, resisting Russian aggression and hybrid war, protection of critical infrastructure, and counterintelligence among the most important tasks for next year.
The second important area, according to Zelenskyy, is the fight against terrorism in all its manifestations.
The third area is cybersecurity, in particular the protection of information resources of the state and blocking the impact of propaganda.
The President also presented SBU officers with state awards and certificates for receiving apartments.
