According to the Intelligence Committee under the President of Ukraine, the Russian special operation "Maidan-3" will reach its climax in March-May 2024.
"Maidan-3". What is the main idea of Russia?
According to intelligence sources, in the coming weeks, the Kremlin will make every effort to spread narratives destructive to global security and attempts to incite conflicts — both inside Ukraine and in other parts of the world where Ukraine has adequate support.
It is important to understand that the Russian campaign against Ukraine will aim to:
to question the legitimacy of government decisions made in Ukraine after May 20,
spread panic moods and despair,
to artificially oppose civilians and the military,
put us at odds with our allies,
spread all kinds of "conspiracy theories" in society.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that all this is happening against the background of loud statements by Moscow about the creation of new types of superweapons.
In this way, the Kremlin wants to intimidate Ukraine's partners, who regularly provide it with weapons to resist the invading Russian army.
In addition, Putin's team, actively using its agents of influence in Ukraine and around the world, will try to organise various "protest actions" and will also deliberately discredit the process of exchanging prisoners of war.
Russia wants to seize Donbas amid panic in Ukraine
According to the intelligence officers, official Moscow is counting on the fact that by the first half of June, Russians will be able to shake up the situation in Ukraine. Then, taking advantage of the situation, a military defeat will be inflicted on Ukraine in the East.
What is important to understand is the key idea of the Russian operation.
In view of the above circumstances, we appeal to Ukrainian society, our international partners and allies to strengthen joint resistance and comprehensive security measures, especially in the information space, in order to effectively counter global threats and challenges of a new world hybrid war. The war that the Russian Federation and its criminal allies are waging against the entire civilized world today. Our society needs unity. Glory to Ukraine! — says the statement of the Intelligence Committee under the President of Ukraine.
"Maidan — 3". What is essential to know about the biggest Russian PsyOp against Ukraine
On November 13, the online.ua team wrote about the enemy's special operation in the exclusive article "Panic, despair, showdowns and assassinations' attempts. Russia has launched a new "Maidan-3" info attack on Ukraine".
The Kremlin spent a record $1.5 billion on this PsyOp, notably $250 million — for maintenance in Telegram.
They found nothing better than to call this operation "Maidan-3" — it was officially called that in their documents. This is their most expensive operation, and it has already practically failed.
