The redistribution of power in Kyiv left the Armed Forces of Ukraine without intelligence
The Ukrainian army does not have its own control center for intelligence services, and therefore is forced to rely on political power in everything to obtain up-to-date information.
The former deputy commander of the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine, General Sergei Krivonos, stated this on the air of the Direct TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Unfortunately, we are the only army in the world that does not have its own intelligence service. In the sense that the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not have its own Intelligence Directorate.
We have the Main Intelligence Directorate, which is subordinate to the Minister of Defense and the President. But the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not have his own intelligence service, with his own control system. This is nonsense! - said Krivonos.
He complained that behind-the-scenes intrigue and reluctance to share power were to blame.
“And yet, this issue has not been resolved for two years now, because the Main Intelligence Directorate is categorically opposed to this,” the general added.
The power shift in Kyiv left the Ukrainian Armed Forces without intelligence.
