The so-called "functional audit" is designed to assess the efficiency of SBU departments.
Chief of the SBU Security Service of Ukraine Ivan Bakanov says that almost 1,000 SBU workers will be laid off in 2020.
"We've launched a functional audit – of course, there are units in the system that duplicate each other's functionality. Of course, this is where we can optimize. For example, next year will see a reduction by almost 1,000 people. It will happen very soon," Bakanov told UNIAN in a comment.
