Maj Gen Vasyl Malyuk, Ukraine's domestic spy chief, makes it clear that the threat from Russia comes from all sides, not just the physical battlefield. His Security Services of Ukraine (SBU) has launched more than 64,000 criminal proceedings across
Moscow’s forces – nearly half of them war crimes cases. He says the SBU have also uncovered or detained 360 enemy agents since the invasion erupted last February. And that the country has fended off thousands of cyberattacks.
Speaking exclusively to The Independent, Maj Gen Malyuk said that the SBU’s investigation department has launched public investigations and also covert operations into alleged war crimes committed by Russia’s forces and their proxies in the country.
Russia has been accused by the UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres of “the most massive violations of human rights” at the start of a UN Human Rights Council session into alleged war crimes by Moscow.
Maj Gen Malyuk, 39, said: “We have launched more than 64,000 criminal proceedings related to Russian military aggression against Ukraine. More than 24,600 of them are based on violations of the laws and customs of war,” he continued.
“It is of great importance for us to show the world not just emotions, but procedural evidence of Russia's illegal actions,” he added.
