Ankara: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Tuesday his approval of new operations by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) targeting Russia. This development was shared through a statement on Telegram, where Zelenskyy also expressed his support for further modifications to the internal organization of the agency.

According to Anadolu Agency, Zelenskyy was briefed by SBU head Oleksandr Poklad regarding the agency's operational priorities for August. Following this briefing, Zelenskyy agreed on further steps to streamline the service's internal structure by removing those who prioritize personal interests over national loyalty.

While the president did not provide specifics about the nature or targets of the newly sanctioned operations, the initiative marks a continued effort to strengthen Ukraine's security apparatus amidst ongoing tensions with Russia.
