Currently, law enforcement officials are investigating four criminal proceedings for invasion of privacy by the Bihus.Info project team.
In the civilized world that Ukraine is moving towards, eavesdropping on journalists by the secret service is unacceptable. This was announced on Tuesday, February 6, by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexey Danilov on the air of a national telethon, who commented on the wiretapping of Bihus.Info journalists by SBU officials.
“When we talk about NATO membership and European Union membership, these are, first of all, standards that we must meet,” Danilov emphasized.
He said that one cannot turn a blind eye to these standards.
“If a person thinks that they can turn a blind eye to these standards, do their own thing and not understand what damage it causes for the state in difficult times, then people do not understand if what are they doing,” said the NSDC Secretary.
At the same time, he added that Russia is most interested in destabilizing the situation in Ukraine.
“The intelligence data indicate the maximum activation of the Russians in the Ukrainian space regarding the internal destabilization of Ukraine through unknown sources of information. We can see many Russian traces in the information space of the territory of our country,” said Danilov.
The previous day, the publication Bihus.Info said that it had identified those who carried out the operation of placing hidden cameras in the hotel rooms where the editorial office was located on December 27, 2023. This was possible thanks to the video from recreation complex security cameras.
Meanwhile, the SBU reported that it has made some personnel decisions regarding the Department for National State Protection after the scandal over the surveillance of Bihus.Info journalists.
And now the Verkhovna Rada voted to summon the head of the SBU Vasily Malyuk to the parliament with a report on the wiretapping of Bihus.Info.
