According to the information of GUR MOU, in the near future the special services of Russia will launch a broad informational and psychological special operation to discredit a number of representatives of the Ukrainian military and political leadership.

 In particular, the discrediting campaign will be directed against the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Serhiy Shaptala, the head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Malyuk, the Minister of Defense Oleksiy Reznikov, the head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak, who performs the duties of the head of the National Police, Ivan Vyhovskyi, intelligence reports.

 "Among other things, the campaign will include "throwing" fabricated materials into Ukrainian and international mass media," they added.

 "The purpose of IPSO is to sow uncertainty in the defense capabilities of our state among Ukrainian citizens and international partners. This, according to Russian special services, should cause political instability within the country and reduce trust in Ukraine on the part of the international anti-Putin coalition," the GUR noted.
