President Volodymyr Zelenskyy approved new combat operations of the Security Service of Ukraine after the report of the temporary head of the SBU, Yevgeny Khmara. According to the head of state, Ukraine will continue to strike at the enemy in order to weaken its capabilities. Zelensky also praised the Ukrainian military and said that despite the frost and difficult conditions, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continued to hold their positions and inflict significant losses on Russia. This is what the head of state said said in the evening address .
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, announced that he approved new combat operations of the Security Service of Ukraine. He stated this in his evening address after the report of the acting head of the SBU Yevgeny Khmara.
According to the president, the results of the work of the special service are already tangible, and Ukraine will continue to act to weaken the enemy. “There are good results, I approved the new work of the Service – new combat operations. We will continue to weaken the enemy,” Zelensky said. The head of state did not reveal the details of the operations for security reasons. At the same time, his statement shows that Ukraine continues active work not only at the front, but also in the enemy’s deep rear.
The Security Service of Ukraine plays a key role in such operations. It is engaged not only in counterintelligence and protection of the state inside the country, but also conducts special operations against military facilities of Russia.
Strikes on important military facilities of the Russian Federation
Separately, the president mentioned operations that allow to get even strategically important objects of the enemy. He thanked the Ukrainian military and special services for the ability to strike targets that Russia considered unattainable. In particular, Zelenskyi mentioned the Kapustin Yar training ground, which is one of Russia’s famous military training grounds used for testing and launching missiles. “Our flamingos have worked hard. There are tangible results,” the president noted.
This phrase probably refers to Ukrainian drones or special weapons used to strike Russian military targets. Recently, Ukraine has significantly expanded its capabilities for such operations. Ukrainian forces are increasingly able to reach targets far behind the front line.
This is important because it allows:
-
destroy warehouses with weapons
-
hit the military infrastructure
-
disrupt enemy logistics
-
to reduce Russia’s opportunities for new attacks
Such operations force Russia to spend more resources on defense and complicate its military plans.
Hard winter and difficult conditions at the front
The President also spoke about the situation directly at the front. According to him, the Ukrainian military continues to perform its tasks even in very difficult weather conditions. January was especially difficult due to severe frosts, cold and difficult conditions. But despite this, the Ukrainian forces were able to hold their positions and inflict significant losses on the enemy.
“The results are also noticeable in the front-line units: despite the extremely unfavorable weather, extreme cold and many other difficulties in January, we managed to maintain the result of the occupier’s injuries,” said Zelenskyy. The Winter War is difficult for both sides. The cold affects equipment, complicates the movement and work of the military. But Ukrainian forces continue to carry out their tasks.
Great losses of Russia
The president also cited data on the losses of Russian troops. According to him, the losses remain significant. “December – the figure was 35 thousand killed and seriously wounded occupiers. January – 30 thousand. We maintain Ukrainian positions,” Zelenskyi said. These figures show that fighting remains intense.
Losses of the enemy mean not only a decrease in their numbers, but also a decrease in opportunities for offensive actions. Each destroyed warehouse, each disabled equipment and each thwarted plan affects the general situation at the front.
The role of the SBU in the war with Russia
The Security Service of Ukraine plays an important role in modern warfare. Her work includes:
-
struggle with Russian agents
-
protection of state secrets
-
carrying out special operations
-
strikes on enemy military facilities
-
fight against sabotage
Since the beginning of the full-scale war, the SBU has significantly expanded its capabilities. Ukrainian special services have become one of the key tools in the fight against Russia. Their operations make it possible to influence the situation even far from the front line.
Ukraine continues to put pressure on the enemy
Zelenskyi’s statement shows that Ukraine does not stop and continues the active struggle. The new operations mean that Ukrainian forces will continue to operate against Russian military facilities. It is part of an overall strategy aimed at weakening the enemy’s military capabilities. Ukraine continues to use all available means — from defense at the front to special operations behind enemy lines. The president stressed that the Ukrainian military is holding its position and continues to fulfill its tasks.
