The news follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky firing the head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the country’s attorney general.
Both were removed on suspicion of treason and named in an executive order on the president’s website.
The news was reported late on Sunday, July 17, when Ukrainian media said SBU spy chief Ivan Bakanov was a longtime personal friend of Zelensky.
On July 25, Zelensky replaced the commander of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The position will now be held by Viktor Khorenko.
