The DIU speaker Yusov also stated that people who are in Ukraine and act as objects of influence are involved in this campaign to destabilise the situation inside the country.
Unfortunately, there are also names of people currently on the territory of Ukraine. They are considered people of influence. This does not mean they have already agreed [to collaborate with Russia]. This information is being verified and clarified, Andrii Yusov noted.
At the same time, Yusov added that counterintelligence measures in Ukraine are ongoing and do not stop.
