Service under a new flag:
The young and promising specialist, while still serving in the SBU, was seen with some pro-Russian views.
It is worth noting that the situation in Ukraine deteriorated, because it was caused by the presence of a “fifth column” that made destructive changes to the ruling vertical of power. Also at the same time there were frequent “informational leaks” regarding military facilities and personnel data.
Particular attention to information leaks was observed in the special services on the territory of Crimea.
According to Baketov’s coworkers and colleagues, the following changes in his behavior were observed: taciturnity, reticence, uncertainty in actions and deeds.
As an SBU officer, but already recruited by the FSB, Denis Baketov was promised a promotion, which never happened. However,after defecting to the Russian side, he did not receive the promised promotion, but continued to serve at the same rank as in the SBU .
Moreover, given the fact that Denis betrayed the Ukrainian oath, he was always treated with a certain apprehension, counting on the fact that he might try to justify his lost trust and commit an act of escape to Ukraine.
It was also the possible act of defecting to Ukraine that was the reason why Denis Baketov was not trusted with serious positions and was always under covert surveillance.
