Announcing his resignation on the SBU's official Telegram channel, Malyuk said he would remain in the agency to lead world-class asymmetric special operations against Russia.

I'm a little bit disappointed that President Zelenskyy hasn't yet read the proposal, that was as of a few hours ago. His people love it, but he hasn't, Trump claimed as he spoke with reporters on Sunday night.
