Quote from Danilov: "As for the decisions of the National Security and Defence Council, which the President announced today, I can say if someone thinks that this was some kind of one-time action on specific issues related to the Customs Service and other bodies, they are deeply mistaken. The demand of society for justice, for order in the state is so high that we can't even imagine it.

If someone believes that he can continue to take bribes, engage in outrageous behaviours, those things [they did – ed.] when they interfered with the work of enterprises, businesses, constantly taxed it with some kind of tribute, this applies to all the bodies that did this – the Security Service, Tax Authorities, Customs Officers, policemen, others – believe me, all the bodies will be clean of such people who are going to stain our country… Believe me, the President will have enough political will, understanding, a bright vision of the future for our country."

Details: Danilov noted that the next meeting of the National Security and Defence Council will be held on Monday.

"We are preparing for this meeting. What it will be, we will be able to announce only after holding this meeting, after the relevant presidential decree," he said.

Background: In the evening address on 11 February, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has declared the significant results of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU), the State Bureau of Investigation and the Prosecutor General's Office in protecting Ukraine from those who worked for Russia, and he has also announced that the National Security and Defence Council will be taking similar steps.
