Ukraine's SBU at work and its accomplishments (HEADLINES)!

First topic message reminder :

This topic will focus on the accomplishments and goals of the SBU.

It's also for those that are uneducated (know it all's) on what does happen that they don't have the time to look into. They'll CONTINUE to say it isn't enough. They don't know any better. Sad for them.

As I've said in the past, going back to 2004 I've never seen so much work against crime than recently by the SBU. Yes, there's still a lot of work to be done, but there's no part in Ukraine's recent history where the fight against crime and corruption has ever been so intense.

Tune in periodically for updates and news articles, regarding the SBU's accomplishments.

There are many within Ukrainian sphere that will NEVER be satisfied with the current administration's efforts or any other administration, no matter HOW MUCH is done and how many criminals are caught. They'll continue carrying that chip on their shoulder forever. There lives are filled with nothing but negativity. Everyone else is wrong and they're right. That's why I'm dedicating this topic in the forum, to drill it in the facts, not propaganda.

When Ukraine needs the most support, all they're doing is dividing and defaming their own country.  Ukraine doesn't need people that always think negatively. What Ukraine needs NOW is TRUE patriots.

Everyone will be amazed at what the SBU is doing, via this board. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.  Just imagine what can't be revealed currently, due to investigations currently taking place.

So STOP knocking the administration and support it. This is a request to the know-it-all's.

This is a multi-page board. So look on top right for the page number options. Of course, the latest posts are at the bottom of the last page. CHECK DAILY.

Ukraine will be victorious.

An official from the Main Directorate for fighting organized crime and corruption in the Khmelnytskyi region was arrested when taking a bribe on Friday.

This was announced by Censor.NET's Editor in Chief Yurii Butusov on his Facebook page.

"Changes in SBU. Visible ones.16 SBU officers have been detained for corruption crimes over the past two months. Six of them are from Kyiv Directorate for fighting organized crime and corruption, where Vasyl Hrytsak [SBU head - ed.] himself used to serve and where he should allegedly have many acquaintances.

"On Friday, an official from the Main Directorate for fighting organized crime and corruption in the Khmelnytskyi region was arrested when taking a bribe.

"Many things are changing in the authority, and I have an impression that they are fighting the corruption for real.

"I would like to note that if not for Hrytsak's decision, then diamond prosecutors Shapakin and Korniiets would have escaped responsibility. Shokin's friends [Prosecutor General of Ukraine - ed.] are documented and under investigation only due to the SBU leadership's stance, as well as that of the Inspectorate General of the Prosecutor's General Office.

"I would like to tell an interesting story which has a lot going for Vasyl Hrytsak and his management principles. On Aug. 4 in Rivne, tax police arrested an illegal amber manufactory. It was the largest withdrawal in the Ukrainian history - 3.5 tons of the stone have been seized. The first to announce this were the SBU on their website. As turned out, head of the Main Directorate for fighting organized crime and corruption in the Rivne region stopped by the manufactory during the operation, took a picture, and uploaded it on the website as his work achievement!

"And that was before the tax service finished its procedural actions and conducted all the arrests.

"Hrytsak sorted out the situation and made a decision within an hour. The news was taken away from the website, and the head of the Main Directorate in the Rivne region was fired. He was fired not for faking the news, but for the fact that he had done nothing to eliminate the illegal manufactory with SBU forces while being on his post. Moreover, SBU head fired another head of the Main Directorate in the Zhytomyr region on the same day - that's where the amber was supplied from to the illegal manufactory in Rivne.

"In his commentary to Censor.NET Vasyl Hrytsak said of the firstlings of the corruption fight in the SBU:

"We cannot start fighting corruption in the state if there is no order among our staff. People should see that corruption in the SBU is being punished much faster than that in other authorities. When they see that we are essential towards ourselves, the people will start trusting the special forces. This is not a one-time campaign, not an advertising trick - we are demonstrating that there will be no way back," Hrytsak said as quoted by Butusov.

Vladimir Putin’s brazen moves in Syria and Ukraine raise new questions about America’s contingency plans

By Andrew Tilghman and Oriana Pawlyk, Staff writers for MilitaryTimes:

Early on the morning of Sept. 30, a Russian three-star general approached the American embassy in Baghdad, walked past a wall of well-armed Marines, to deliver face-to-face a diplomatic demarche to the United States. His statement was blunt: The Russia military would begin air strikes in neighboring Syria within the hour — and the American military should clear the area immediately.

It was a bout of brinksmanship between two nuclear-armed giants that the world has not seen in decades, and it has revived Cold War levels of suspicion, antagonism and gamesmanship.

With the launch of airstrikes in Syria, Russian President Vladimir Putin instigated a proxy war with the U.S., putting those nation's powerful militaries in support of opposing sides of the multipolar conflict. And it's a huge gamble for Moscow, experts say. "This is really quite difficult for them. It's logistically complex. The Russians don't have much in the way of long-range power projection capability," said Mark Galeotti, a Russian security expert at New York University.

Moscow's military campaign in Syria is relying on supply lines that require air corridors through both Iranian and Iraqi air space. The only alternatives are naval supply lines running from Crimea, requiring a passage of up to 10 days round-trip. How long that can be sustained is unclear.

That and other questions about Russian military capabilities and objectives are taking center stage as Putin shows a relentless willingness to use military force in a heavy-handed foreign policy aimed at restoring his nation's stature as a world power. In that quest, he has raised the specter of resurgent Russian military might — from Ukraine to the Baltics, from Syria to the broader Middle East..............
