Quote: "The Security Service of Ukraine, the State Bureau of Investigations, and the Prosecutor General's Office have achieved significant results in protecting our country from those who worked for the aggressor state. There will be corresponding steps by the National Security and Defence Council, continuing our line of defence of the state."

Details: Zelenskyy said that on Saturday afternoon, 11 February, he held several meetings with representatives of the defence and law enforcement sectors.

"The topic of these meetings is one and the same. It is the strengthening of the public institutions of Ukraine and the protection of institutions from any attempts from outside or inside to reduce their effectiveness and efficiency. This applies to various areas: both personnel policy, interaction between public institutions, and the clarity of how the public structures work," he said.

Zelenskyy assured that the state would continue to modernise institutions, processes and procedures in them.

"The clarity in the work of the public structures should be guaranteed not only by what depends on the people, but also by the creation of transparency and accountability," he emphasised.
