Possible Dismissal of the Head of the SBU Maluk: Why This is a Threat to Defense Capability.

According to ТСН: Lieutenant General Vasyl Maluk may be removed from his position as head of the SBU, and this could have negative consequences for the country's defense capability.

Sources from government circles report on this situation.

“There are indeed attempts to remove Vasyl Maluk from his position. However, nothing has been decided yet; discussions are ongoing,” noted a source.

According to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, the dismissal of the head of the SBU will raise many questions since under Vasyl Maluk's leadership, the Ukrainian special service has demonstrated high efficiency, as evidenced by its performance results.

Indeed, no other security agency has achieved the same results as the SBU: the operation “Spider Web,” three explosions of the Crimean Bridge, attacks on oil refineries and the shadow fleet of the Russian Federation, the elimination of enemies of Ukraine, as well as impressive achievements on the frontline.

“Such unique special operations give Ukraine strong 'cards' at the negotiating table,” emphasized the source.

The source believes that the Kremlin will celebrate Maluk's dismissal if such a decision is made.

“Maluk's dismissal is not just a weakening of the president's team. It is a blow to the country's defense capability in times of war,” said the source.

Recall that in his New Year's address, SBU head Vasyl Maluk summed up the work of the Ukrainian special service in 2025 and emphasized that the main desire of Ukrainians is to achieve a stable and just peace.

The situation surrounding the possible dismissal of Vasyl Maluk underscores the importance of stability in SBU leadership, especially in wartime. The performance results of the Ukrainian special service under his leadership inspire trust and support among the population. Any changes at the top could impact the course of events in this difficult situation for the country.
