President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Moscow is also seeking to sow division in Ukrainian society, by creating “chaos” domestically and ultimately to remove the president, Bloomberg reports.
"Our intelligence has information, which also came from our partners,” Zelenskiy said, describing a disinformation plan known internally as “Maydan 3,” a reference to the central square in Kyiv that was the focal point of uprisings in 2004 and 2014. The latter played a role in toppling Russian-backed President Viktor Yanukovych.
"Maydan is coup for them, so the operation is understandable," Zelenskyy said.
