A group of experts in the Russian Federation has developed a new plan for Putin, in which "civil confrontation is the best scenario for the Kremlin, but elections will also be useful." So far, these are just ideas, but some stages are already being implemented. Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, wrote about this in a column for UP.
"Without chaos in the internal situation in Ukraine, achieving Russia's military goals is impossible. The ideal situation for Russia and Putin is for Ukraine to return to a state of uncontrollability and complete anarchy, in which the country found itself in 1917-1921, when the war was going on from the outside and inside," Danilov said.
The NSDC secretary said that the Kremlin's plan to create destabilization in Ukraine includes the following steps
military (intensification of pressure in all key areas of the front to worsen the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces as much as possible;
missile terror in winter;
information (spreading panic in Telegram channels about "heavy losses", "mobilization", corruption, etc;)
political (a campaign through agent channels and "useful idiots" to artificially create an alleged conflict in the top military and political leadership of Ukraine).
"Some of these measures are already in place, some are waiting for their turn... All these measures in combination should create a critically negative social background... Creating conditions for the central government to be unable to keep the situation under control and under the threat of a social explosion in the capital and the spread of protests to the regions is a change of government," Danilov said.
According to him, if Russia succeeds in implementing all its plans, the result will be the undermining of the public consensus of Ukrainian unity, which will lead to "the destruction of Western support and undermining the morale and combat capability of the Defense Forces."
At the same time, Danilov emphasized that to a large extent, all of the plans described remain "fantasies of Moscow developers," but the threat "should not be underestimated."
