It is known that a wide information and psychological special operation will be launched in the near future to discredit a number of representatives of the Ukrainian military-political leadership. In particular, the discrediting campaign will be directed against Serhii Shaptala, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Vasyl Maliuk, Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Oleksii Reznikov, Defence Minister of Ukraine, Andrii Yermak, Head of the President's Office, Ivan Vyhovskyi, Acting Head of the National Police, and others.

Among other things, the campaign would include the "leak" of fabricated materials in Ukrainian and international media.

The purpose of the information and psychological special operation is to sow uncertainty about the defence capabilities of our state among Ukrainian citizens and international partners. According to the russian special services, this should cause political instability within the country and reduce trust in Ukraine on the part of the international anti-putin coalition.
