President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced a personnel audit of the State Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), accompanied by layoffs.

"There is a personnel audit of the State Security Service. The issue of dismissal of 28 officers is being decided. Different levels, different directions. But the reasons are similar – unsatisfactory results of work. I thank everyone who faithfully and effectively serves the state," he said in a video statement on Monday evening.
