Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) has been fighting against internal threats to national security. The investigators of the Bureau are working tirelessly to collect evidence, interrogate witnesses and send materials to the court to bring the people responsible to justice. Their systematic work is aimed at detecting and bringing to the justice those, who betrayed Ukraine or collaborated with the enemy. The Bureau demonstrates its determination to cleanse the country of traitors, creating a solid foundation for the security of the state and its citizens.
