The Cabinet of Ministers issued an order on the creation of special mobile communications for civil servants. The creation of this communications system has been entrusted to the Security Service of Ukraine. This is stated in the CMU order "On the Creation of Special Cellular Communications of the National Confidential Communications System." \n \nAccording to the CMU order, the special mobile communications network will be created on the basis of the state enterprise "Ukrainian Special Systems" (USS). SBU representatives state that so far no orders regarding the creation of a special mobile communications network have been received. \n \nMeanwhile, the general director of the state enterprise USS, Valeriy Barlabanov, believes that the most realistic option for implementing this project will be the creation of a provider that will provide services to officials on the basis of existing GSM networks. \n \nThe amount that the state intends to spend on creating a new operator is not yet known. The corresponding law on the creation of special mobile communications was adopted two and a half years ago, however, throughout this time problems arose with budget financing. Until now, this issue has been resolved and soon employees of ministries and deputies will have the opportunity to use mobile phones with cryptographic information protection – information will be encoded in the handset itself and transmitted over the air in encrypted form. Special services employees claim that it will be impossible to eavesdrop on such conversations through "backdoor" means. This will only be possible for specialists under a special sanction. \n \nIn the future, it is planned to equip everyone who wishes with such "secret" mobile phones, and the funds received will be directed to the budget. \n \nBased on materials from "Segodnya," "Kommersant-Ukraine"
