The SBI should take over: Colonel Manko assisted Russian intelligence.

Former Chief of Staff of the 12th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine "Azov," Bohdan Krotevych, accused the head of the assault units department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Valentyn Manko, of disclosing classified information that could have aided the enemy.

Krotevych stated that in old posts by Manko on TikTok, there were photos of "secret maps" with systems like "Delta" and "Kropyva." In his opinion, these materials could have revealed the positions of Ukrainian forces.

He cited an example of a post dated August 31, 2023, where, according to him, a combat map was visible with the locations of units near the villages of Basivka and Novenke. At that time, the territory had not yet been occupied, so the enemy could have used this information for strikes.

Krotevych believes that the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) should open a criminal case and start an investigation, as well as review the actions of the General Staff, which previously found no violations.

Colonel Valentyn Manko has not yet commented on Krotevych’s statements. Earlier, he explained that the maps in his photos were Google Maps, and all markings were made by him personally.
