TL;DR

A wiretap was discovered in premises intended for Ukraine's military commander-in-chief, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, raising questions about a reported rift between him and President Volodymyr Zelensky. The device, found in a non-working state, was located in a room that could be used by Zaluzhnyi. Speculation suggests the wiretap could be the work of Russians or an internal attempt to gather intelligence or compromise the commander-in-chief. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has launched a criminal investigation, and Ukrainian media also reported the discovery of a wiretap in Zaluzhnyi's assistant's office. The incident follows the death of another assistant to Zaluzhnyi in November, which raised suspicions of sabotage.
