Security service yearbook 2019

The recently released Estonian Security Service (KAPO) annual report highlights challenges, successes and future targets assisting the government in making the right decisions in maintaining national security.

It's ironical that the report's release coincided with KAPO's detention of retired KAPO veteran officer Vladimir Kulikov for 'cooperating' with Russian intelligence. While withholding most details of his arrest, it’s possible that Kulikov will be charged with high treason. Kulikov was known to have visited Russia where most recruitment approaches are made and is suspected of working with the Russian intelligence since. Retired in 2012, Kulikov was the recipient of the presidential Medal of the Eagle's Cross in 1998.
