The wiretapping in the office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, is an attempt by the enemy to obtain information about the defense plans, according to a statement of the representative of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Andrii Yusov.
"This is certainly a resonant event. Counterintelligence agencies, including the Security Service of Ukraine, should investigate this situation. The war continues, and the enemy is trying by various means to obtain information and study our plans," emphasizes Yusov.
According to him, such instruments are cheaper for the enemy and save significant resources on the battlefield.
The intelligence representative notes that the Defense Intelligence is awaiting the results of the investigation.
