“The SBU emphasizes that Russian special services are currently actively attempting to recruit Ukrainians to carry out terrorist attacks, sabotage, arson, and other illegal activities. The Security Service of Ukraine urges citizens to remain vigilant, not to succumb to provocations, and to immediately report any suspicious activity to the hotline,” the statement reads.
The agency urges people to call 1516 in the following cases:

- if strangers approach you with proposals regarding arson, transporting unknown objects, or surveillance;

- if you have any information about the activities of Russian intelligence services.
“All information received is thoroughly verified. The confidentiality of reports is guaranteed. Your call or message could save lives—both yours and those around you. Do not ignore the threat; stay vigilant and alert—contact the Security Service of Ukraine at 1516,” the SBU adds.
In addition, you can contact the agency through other communication channels:
