Quote from SSU Chief Vasyl Maliuk: "The Security Service will do everything possible to ensure that the enemy faces the maximum retribution for each of their war crimes, including today's attack on Ukraine. This retribution will be delivered in accordance with the law and morality. A terrorist state is not an abstract concept. There are specific names of murderers. And nothing will save them from justice."
