The head of Ukrainian military intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, during a press conference at the forum "Ukraine. 2024" warned that the Russian intelligence services are currently preparing the "Maidan-3" operation, but these plans will fail.
What is known about the preparation by the special services of the Russian Federation of a new Maidan in Ukraine
Budanov noted that the current goal of the Kremlin's special services and agents of influence is to discredit the current Ukrainian government.
The head of GUR emphasized that the Kremlin regime wants to convince Ukrainian society that the current government is allegedly illegitimate due to the refusal to hold elections.
A very serious operation is now underway. They did not find anything better than to call it "Maidan-3". It's a primitive name, but it's so official in their documents that it counts, - notes Budanov.
What are the goals defined by the Kremlin in the operation "Maidan-3"
The head of the GUR also added that the Kremlin invested the largest amount of money in carrying out this operation compared to previous similar efforts.
And it will fail, because we know everything they have planned. We know how to counter this
Budanov explained that the key goal of this enemy operation is to question the very legitimacy of decision-making in Ukraine after March 31 and May 20 this year.
After that, in a fairly short period, when they expect that there will be some confusion in Ukrainian society and duplicity in decision-making, and the same will be projected on our army, as they think - in the first half of June, to inflict a military defeat in the east, taking advantage of that , that in the army there should be a double opinion: who leads us, whose orders we carry out. That's the whole point, Budanov notes.
He said that the Russian Federation is interested in inflicting a military defeat on Ukraine, but they are unable to do so.
Elections cannot be held in Ukraine under martial law.
