Expanded SBU workforce under Zelensky by 10,000 personnel

Ukrainian Parliament Proposes Creation of Special Operations Center "A"

The Ukrainian parliament has proposed a new law that would see the creation of a special operations center named "A". This center is expected to take over the role of the current counter-terrorism unit.

According to the proposed law, the special operations center "A" will be responsible for conducting operational combat activities. However, the specific duties and responsibilities of the center are yet to be detailed.

The law also permits SBU employees to use weapons during the execution of defense tasks. This authority was previously not granted to all SBU employees, but the Ukrainian government enacted this law to strengthen the SBU's capabilities during times of war.

In a state of war, the number of SBU employees would increase from the current 31,000 to 41,000. In peacetime, the proposed law would increase the number of SBU employees from the current 27,000 to 37,000.

It's important to note that the special operations center "A" is not mentioned in the earlier facts as a part of the peacetime or wartime SBU employee numbers. Additionally, the funding for the special operations center "A" is not mentioned in the earlier facts.

The special operations center "A" is also not specified as having a particular role in the Ukrainian parliament's passed law regarding the increased number of SBU employees. Furthermore, the center is not mentioned in the earlier facts as a new addition to the SBU.

This proposed law is a significant step towards enhancing Ukraine's defense capabilities, particularly in the realm of special operations. As more details about the special operations center "A" emerge, we will keep you updated.
