This chapter looks at the evolution of institutional frameworks and processes related to intelligence in Ukraine. By using the methodology provided to reform intelligence in new democracies, it analyzes the institutional changes within the intelligence services and the initiatives aiming to enforce coordination, improve professionalism, transparency, and trust—as crucial norms for intelligence under democracy. Within this comprehensive framework, it aims to investigate the mechanisms in place to ensure that intelligence services conduct intelligence activities in a manner that achieves the proper balance between the acquisition of essential information and protection of individual interests (intelligence governance and oversight). Last but not least, the most recent reconfigurations of “open secrets” and public intelligence inbuilding trust and obtaining strategic advantage are discussed in the light of the war in Ukraine.
