Russian President Vladimir Putin has responded to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's statement about the preparation of a coup, including with the participation of Russia. Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is allegedly not engaged in such cases.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing RIA Novosti.

"Russia had no plans to get involved. Russia is never involved in such cases at all," Peskov said, commenting on today's statement by the Ukrainian president.

As a reminder, earlier Zelensky said that he was preparing a coup in Ukraine with the participation of oligarch Rinat Akhmetov. At the same time, he stressed that the coup, which was planned for early December, was not prepared by Akhmetov himself, but "his involvement is discussed in Ukraine and Russia".
