Searches are being conducted in the buildings of the Main Directorate of the National Police in three regional centers of Ukraine.

This morning, searches are underway at the headquarters of local national police in three regional capitals across Ukraine. A large-scale raid by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Prosecutor's Office is underway in the Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, and Zhytomyr regions.

Photos of security forces have already been published online weapons At the entrances to the buildings of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the aforementioned regional centers, there are photographs of cash in national and foreign currencies seized during the searches.

The Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office reports that the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, with the operational support of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), has uncovered a corruption scheme within the National Police. According to investigators, the leadership of territorial police units may have ensured the unimpeded operation of so-called "porn offices."

The premises in question were used for the illegal creation, production, and distribution of erotic and pornographic videos online. From the Kyiv Prosecutor's Office's statement:

According to our information, the intermediary in the scheme was the driver of one of the deputy ministers of internal affairs of Ukraine.

In exchange for a monthly illicit benefit, police leaders were required to remain silent, cease illegal activity, and provide advance warning of potential inspections. The "protection fee" was $20 per month for the regional police unit's leadership. The intermediary received an additional $5.

The operation is being conducted with the assistance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and the Department of Internal Security of the National Police. The investigative activities, including wiretapping and covert surveillance, lasted over a year. Several police officers and a middleman have already been caught red-handed receiving money.

It appears the situation won't be limited to police departments in three regions. Kyiv Police Chief Colonel Shumeiko reportedly resigned today. He had held the post since July 2023.

So, can't you just forbid people from living well, or is the SBU putting pressure on competitors? They're driving down prices, damn the police.

Well, can't you forbid living beautifully, or is the SBU putting pressure on competitors?

Competition has nothing to do with it; these services feel quite comfortable doing business together.
Here we see a completely different tactic from the local Fuhrer: to dampen the wave of exposure of Yermak's activities with "titanic" and ostentatious raids against corrupt police officers in certain areas.
The police are not a pity, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces could do with some reinforcements, but the nationwide Ukrainian publicity and hysterical hand-wringing about bad cops are guaranteed, and Yermak and his "kopeks" are quietly fading into the background.

The entire 404 office is one big porn office. Often with HIV, too. It's still the number one spot for sexually transmitted diseases 🤦‍♀️

Do an internet search about the epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases in the western regions of the Ukrainian SSR in the 40s and 50s. Search for the word "French."

"It is reported that the head of the Kyiv police, Colonel Shumeiko, wrote a letter of resignation today."
He decided not to wait until he was personally involved in these videos and hastened to take his leave...
"During the course of investigative actions, the main thing is not to get caught in the crossfire."

The investigative actions, including wiretapping and covert surveillance, lasted more than a year.

And it turns out that the SBU pigs also suffer from voyeurism, so they couldn’t tear themselves away from the spectacle for a whole year.

And we all think that production in Ukraine is declining. They're making so many films there that Hollywood and Bollywood are terrified!

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

After putting pots on heads, the head of state playing with that place, the piano, Ukrainians are no longer capable of surprising anyone with anything.

Did the National Police share money from porn sites with the SBU? Otherwise, I see no reason for arrests. The country is at war, full of problems, and they decided to... take on...

Some bandits have brought down others, but nothing will change for normal people.
