The Security Service of Ukraine, led by Yevhen Khmara, together with the FBI and EU special services, have effectively created a new cyber-alliance. This was reported by political scientist Oleksiy Kurpas, commenting on the destruction of Russian hacker networks, according to UNN.
The expert emphasizes that the SBU has finally become an important subject of global cybersecurity.
The Service has solidified its status as an equal player. This is not about the participation of a "junior partner," but about co-leadership in an operation that spans several jurisdictions and requires a high level of trust. Such coordination with the European Union and American structures is an indicator of recognition of the high level of the Ukrainian special service. By eliminating the threat to the US and the EU, the SBU is helping to create a new model of cybersecurity.
Kurpas believes that an informal "digital NATO" has effectively been created.
This is a new dimension of cooperation, as a common model for responding to challenges is being formed and mutual dependence in the field of cyber defense is growing. This, in turn, allows us to talk about the emergence of a cyber-alliance, where Ukraine is not only an object of protection, but also its active provider.
The SBU and FBI operation is indicative not only from the point of view of exposing another activity of Russian special services in various countries. Although some in the West need to be reminded of such threats regularly. It demonstrates the qualitative transformation of the SBU under the leadership of Yevhen Khmara. From a national security body to an international player. In the context of modern warfare, this means that Ukraine is not only defending itself, but also shaping the rules of the game in global cybersecurity.
Earlier it was reported that the SBU, FBI, and European special services uncovered a large-scale network of Russians who obtained information by hacking routers around the world (including Ukraine). They then extracted information of interest to Russian intelligence from computers.
