Washington Post: Listening devices found in office of Ukraine’s top general, Valery Zaluzhny
KYIV — Ukraine’s military said Monday that listening devices were found in the offices of the country’s top commanding general, Valery Zaluzhny, and other military officials but did not indicate who might have placed the bugs or what conversations might have been surreptitiously recorded.
The military statement, made in a Facebook post, came one day after Ukrainian media reported that Zaluzhny’s “office” had been bugged and the country’s security service, the SBU, said it had opened a criminal investigation.
“Yesterday, during a routine inspection of the premises, elements of equipment for recording information were discovered,” the general staff of the Ukrainian military wrote in the post. “Listening devices were installed in offices designated for the work of the commander in chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and employees of his office.”
The general staff also did not say how long the devices were thought to have been in Zaluzhny’s office.
