President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with the heads of law enforcement agencies regarding the protection of the state's national interests under martial law.

Participants included: Prosecutor General of Ukraine Andriy Kostin, Head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Maliuk, Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko, Head of the State Border Guard Service Serhii Deineko, Director of NABU Semen Kryvonos, Deputy Prosecutor General and Head of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office Oleksandr Klymenko, Director of the State Bureau of Investigation Oleksii Sukhachov, Head of the National Agency for Corruption Prevention Viktor Pavlushchyk, and Acting Director of the Economic Security Bureau Serhii Perkhun.

"First and foremost, we discussed countering traitors, collaborators, and those who justify Russian aggression in various sectors and assist the enemy. We also need to thoroughly discuss the mechanism for applying sanctions by our state and cooperation with partners to synchronize our sanction regimes," said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Maliuk reported on counter-sabotage and counterintelligence activities in Ukraine, investigations into treason and collaboration, and the application of sanctions against traitors and collaborators.

Director of the State Bureau of Investigation Oleksii Sukhachov provided updates on investigations into illegal border crossings, particularly by individuals involved in criminal cases.

The President also tasked the development of a plan to reinforce the border between Ukraine and Moldova along the section near the unrecognized Transnistria.
