Smeshko implemented stricter controls, particularly for the Kolchuga air defense system.

2000

In 2000, facing political attacks organized by the SBU, Smeshko resigned from his post as head of the Military Intelligence Directorate and assumed the post of Defense Attache to Switzerland, a demotion.

In the election he took 6th place with 6.04% of the vote.
