I think you meant to write GRU, not "SBU".

That is correct.  SBU is the intelligence agency working for Ukraine, not against them.

Back on topic, perhaps the Novorossiya bunch has been told by Putin to cancel their governance, not because he wants them to pack up, but because he plans to annex the territory and install his own puppets.

Perhaps. I doubt Russia just decided to quit and withdraw from Ukraine in an unannounced resignation of defeat. It's far from over, whatever may come next.
