Zaluzhnyi commented on the discovery of listening devices in his office
Zaluzhnyi spoke with journalists before the presentation of the work of the State Rear Operator for 2024.
To the question of whether he considers the discovery of surveillance in his office as pressure, Zaluzhnyi answered:
No, as a war. The investigation will prove that it can be.
He added that he was supposed to go into the office where the listening device was found at 7 am today.
I don't think (that state secrets could be disclosed in this cabinet — ed.). This room was used before, but the break was quite significant, so it happened just before my meeting, Zaluzhnyi added.
The commander-in-chief explained that he had not been in the office where the equipment was found for a long time.
I have several places where I work. And this happened in one of them. I haven't been there for a long time. But we checked and found (listeting device — ed.).
