Will SBU continue to hunt for FSB agents within itself?

We all remember the mass searches of monasteries and dioceses, where nothing was found, yet the operation successfully shaped public opinion, portraying the UOC as an "enemy of the people." And yet, according to government estimates, millions of Ukrainians identify with the UOC.
Now, let’s ask a simple question: Did this contribute to the unity of Ukrainians, or did it deepen divisions? The answer seems obvious.
Another simple question: In a time of war, does this benefit Ukraine – or its enemy? Again, the answer is clear.
Logically, with the arrest of the head of "Department T", the SBU’s campaign against the UOC should come to an end.
If it does not, then SBU Chief Vasyl Maliuk should keep looking for more FSB agents – within his own ranks.
Logical? Absolutely!
