Russian special services have intensified information attacks against the Security Service of Ukraine, using, in particular, materials from recent investigations by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau to discredit the agency. The goal of such information and psychological operations is to intensify internal contradictions in Ukraine and undermine citizens’ trust in state institutions.
This was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine.
According to the intelligence agency, Russian propaganda is spreading fake messages, trying to create the impression of a conflict between the SBU and Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies. In this way, the Russian Federation seeks to divide Ukrainian society and weaken trust in the state.
In particular, information began to spread in media controlled by Russian special services, citing the propaganda publication RIA Novosti. It claimed that NABU had allegedly reported the contract killing of a Ukrainian Naval Forces officer, which was allegedly organized on the instructions of the SBU.
The Security Service called these claims false. According to the agency, Russian propaganda used a real crime that occurred in September 2026 and led to the death of a Ukrainian Navy officer.
At the same time, the SBU emphasized that NABU did not make any statements regarding this murder, and the investigation of such crimes is not within the jurisdiction of the Bureau.
The department also reported that the direct perpetrator of the murder was a pensioner from the Dnipropetrovsk region recruited by Russian special services. He was detained on hot pursuit. Currently, law enforcement officers are continuing the investigation and establishing all the circumstances of the crime.
The SBU called on Ukrainians to remain vigilant, not to trust messages from Russian propaganda resources, and to verify information using reliable sources.
The special services also called for reporting on recruitment attempts by the enemy and suspicious offers that may be received by citizens or their acquaintances.
