President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Vasyl Maliuk will remain within the SBU system and will focus there on combat work – conducting asymmetric operations against the occupier.

Zelensky reported this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

"I had a meeting with Vasyl Maliuk. I thanked him for his combat service and proposed that he focus on this line of work specifically. There must be more Ukrainian asymmetric operations against the occupier and the Russian state, and more solid results in eliminating the enemy. This is where Vasyl is at his strongest, and this is exactly what he will continue to do within the Security Service of Ukraine," Zelensky said.
