SBU claims to have foiled a coup attempt
The SBU reported on the disclosure of a large-scale scheme to prepare a coup in Ukraine, which was allegedly prepared by the Russian special services and was supposed to be implemented immediately after the first round of the presidential elections.
Deputy head of the SBU Viktor Kononenko stated this at a briefing in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to him, the operation, called “White Balaclavas,” has been prepared since last fall. Its essence was that militant brigades would seize local administrative buildings against the backdrop of protests in Kyiv. After this, part of the population that did not recognize the elections and the new president had to convene a meeting at which they would put forward impossible demands.
“Searchs took place in the office and place of residence of three active members of Nadezhda Savchenko’s support group, who, in coordination with the well-known agent of the Russian special services Nikolai Dulsky, who is hiding from Ukrainian justice in Russia, took preparatory measures to organize provocations that were supposed to be the impetus for violent change of power in our country...
The idea of the Russian Federation included non-recognition of elections by the people, convening a veche, and putting forward demands to the authorities that could not be fulfilled. To implement this, the detainee and his accomplices tried to use the ideas of so-called democracy...
Russia will try to artificially create a situation of non-recognition of the elections in Ukraine both by part of the Ukrainians and by part of the Western community. With the subsequent use of this factor for the maximum split of society and the creation of a permanent front of confrontation in the maximum possible number of regions of our state,” Kononenko said.
