Ivan Bakanov
Ivan Bakanov was the head of the SSU from 2019 to 2022. In July 2022, he was dismissed by a decree of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and later the Verkhovna Rada supported his resignation.
Bakanov was dismissed under Article 47 of the Armed Forces' disciplinary statute on "Dereliction of duty that resulted in human casualties or other grave consequences."
Afterwards, the former head of the Security Service of Ukraine confirmed that he had received a lawyer's certificate in Poltava region.
It was reported that Bakanov was paid almost half a million hryvnias when he was dismissed from the SSU.
Censor.NET Editor-in-Chief Yurii Butusov explained why Bakanov should be in prison and responsible for high treason and has no right to be free.
