According to Maliuk, this center was also known as "Department T" within the structure of the Security Service of Ukraine.

Maliuk stated that the suspect had held his position since 2016 and was a recruited agent of Russia’s FSB. According to him, through this "rat," the security service was "feeding the enemy our disinformation."
