MSM treats Kiev’s assassinations like the most normal thing in the world.
As Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky continues with his reshuffle of his administration, he will, once again, move one of his top intel people around – in this case, reportedly dismissing him.
After appointing top spy Kyrylo Budanov as his new chief of staff, today it arises that Zelensky means to remove Vasyl Malyuk as head of the infamous Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the state’s top counterintelligence agency.
Politico reported:
“The reshuffle has already seen two other top spies — Kyrylo Budanov and Oleh Ivashchenko — shifted to other responsibilities. Budanov has agreed to head the president’s office, while Ivashchenko will be chief of the HUR military intelligence service.”
But there’s a catch: Malyuk is reportedly attempting to retain his current post.
Zelensky hinted Maliuk, SBU chief, will be fired soon.
Yarosh, the former leader of Right Sector, is strongly against it.Just a reminder: right under Maliuk’s nose there was an office where Mindich and friends were laundering money from defense and energy contracts.

“But instead of looking for that office [of corruption] — on the next street over from his own — [Malyuk] went hunting for a ‘Russian trail’ inside [corruption prosecution office] NABU”

But, as we would expect, Politico is not interested in the fact that he killed civilians and journalists in cold blood, as he has admitted. Statement by the Russian MoD:
“Other barbaric terrorist attacks using explosive devices cost the lives of journalists D.A. Dugina and M.Yu. Fomin (V. Tatarsky), led to the serious injury of the writer E.N. Prilepin and the death of his driver A.I. Shubin, the death of five people as a result of the explosion of the Crimean Bridge, 42 people were injured in an explosion in a cafe in St. Petersburg.”
Shocking images of the explosion that killed blogger Tatarsky:
Well-known Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky was killed by a bomb blast in a St Petersburg cafe on Sunday in what appeared to be the second assassination on Russian soil of a figure closely associated with the war in Ukraine.

And Politico also is not very worried that Malyuk unleashed his goons on the anti-corruption agencies SAPO and NABU, accusing them of ‘pro-Russian treason’.
No – the article treats him like a hero.
“’There are attempts to remove Malyuk, but nothing has been decided yet’, a Ukrainian official told POLITICO on Saturday. ‘Talks are still going on. But if Malyuk is out of SBU, this will seriously weaken Ukraine’s ability to protect itself’, added the official, who was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
[…] Enigmatic Malyuk, 42, has been managing the SBU since 2023. Since he was officially appointed by the parliament, he has overseen some of the agency’s high-profile assassinations and most daring special operations inside Russia, like the 2025 operation ‘Spiderweb’ in which Ukrainian drones hit Russia’s strategic bombers on several protected airfields, causing $7 billion in damage to Russian military aviation.”
