Ukraine’s intelligence: Russia preparing various scenarios of possible offensive

"There may be different scenarios and the direction of the attack, so the enemy prepares different scenarios and promotes disinformation, making fake news about different directions and publishing them through various channels to disorient us. There are some rather exotic versions, such as landing on Odesa, because it looks like a somewhat suicidal direction for the enemy. Likewise, the topic of Belarus is constantly discussed. As of today, there are no formed strike groups, there is no threat of the involvement of Belarus in Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. However, this is also definitely a risk that we should be aware of," Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said on the air of Channel 24.

He added that, in general, Russian president Vladimir Putin did not abandon his strategic goal: a genocidal war to destroy the Ukrainian people and the Ukrainian state. "And this means that we need more support, more weapons, more sanctions against Putin and, of course, we need to prepare for the further de-occupation of Ukrainian territories and the liberation of Ukraine from invaders. All these scenarios are being worked out by Ukraine as well," Yusov said.

As reported, the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine warned that the enemy is expected to massively produce fake news in the near future involving the entire range of modern information means. The goal is to undermine the Western partners’ trust in Ukraine.
