The authoritative British publication The Times has published an investigation into the work of the former head of the Crimean department of the SSU, Oleh Kulinich, for the FSB.
The material states that the SSU gained access to a mass of documents seized from a computer in the office of the russian special services in moscow, as well as during a search of the spy's apartment in Kyiv.
Among other things, there are photos and videos of Kulinich vacationing abroad with the curator of the network of russian spies in Ukraine, Vladimir Sivkovich, as well as their correspondence.
The documents confirm that Kulinich had access to critically important secret data on the country's defense capabilities, and therefore was the most valuable agent for the FSB. In his position in 2020-2021, he actually destroyed counterintelligence activities in Crimea.
"In April 2021 he initiated large-scale anti-terrorism training in the Kherson region, which he used to identify weaknesses in Ukraine’s defence. During the early hours of the invasion, he blocked any attempts to notify the SBU leadership about the real situation in the region. He didn’t take measures to protect state sovereignty and disobeyed orders by taking his staff to another region. He even took weapons away from SBU employees," the material says.
In 2022, the SSU detained Oleh Kulinich on suspicion of treason as a result of a special operation conducted under the leadership of the current SSU Head, Vasyl Maliuk.
