The SBU conducts counterintelligence activities in the Pecherskyi and Shevchenkivskyi districts of Kyiv, as well as in the government quarter and surrounding areas.
The purpose of the counterintelligence measures is to check the counter-sabotage protection of state facilities, including enhancing the security of Kyiv residents and persons under protection.
With the participation of representatives of the State Security Department, security guards inspect territories and individual premises (homes, offices, common areas of apartment buildings, public service facilities, etc.) to “detect items prohibited for circulation” and check citizens who are in the government quarter.
During the events, the streets of the capital may be restricted, as well as document checks and car inspections, the SBU said.
“The SBU asks citizens to understand possible inconveniences and respond appropriately to lawful actions and demands of law enforcement officers, to have identification documents with them, and to observe the curfew,” the statement said.
