Ukraine Investigates Suspicious Wiretap in Military Chief's Office

Ukraine's security service has launched a criminal probe after a suspected spying device was found in an office that could have been used by Commander in Chief Valery Zaluzhnyi. The device, initially characterized as a bug, was found to be in a non-operational state with no means of information storage or remote transmission of audio recordings. The investigation is being conducted under Ukraine's criminal code on the unlawful acquisition, sale, or use of special technical means for obtaining information. Zaluzhnyi has been mentioned as a possible target for a reshuffle in top military ranks due to disagreements with President Volodymyr Zelensky over the conduct of the war against Russia.

The firm was found to have engaged in illegal "foreign-related statistical investigation activities without obtaining approval." This crackdown has raised concerns among foreign investors, as China tightens control over the economy and society, including data security measures and restrictions on information movement.
