Russian special services are preparing a special operation to spread false information and create a sense of distrust in the military and political leadership of Ukraine. This operation is intended to discredit a number of prominent figures, such as the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Serhiy Shaptala, the Head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Malyuk, the Minister of Defense Oleksiy Reznikov, the Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak, the Acting Head of the National Police Ivan Vygovsky, and others. The operation will involve the dissemination of fabricated materials in Ukrainian and international media in order to create uncertainty about Ukraine's defense capabilities among its citizens and international partners, and to cause political instability in the country and reduce the confidence in Ukraine on the part of the international anti-Putin coalition.
