What we know about Russia's "three-layer" strategy to destabilise Ukraine
According to Vadym Skibitskyi, deputy head of the Defence Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate, the main factor is the military.
According to him, it will take weeks for the military aid recently allocated by the United States to reach the front line. At the same time, according to a representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU), it is unlikely that this aid will equal Ukraine's potential with Russia's stockpile of shells or provide effective protection against Russian guided aerial bombs.
The second part of Russia's plan is the Kremlin's disinformation campaign in Ukraine, which will be aimed at undermining Ukrainian mobilisation and the political legitimacy of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whose presidential term is set to expire on 20 May.
Although the Constitution allows for an indefinite extension in wartime, the president's opponents are already highlighting his vulnerability, the newspaper reported.
The third part of the plan, according to the deputy chief of the DIU, is Russia's campaign to isolate Ukraine internationally.
