Russia is trying to destabilize the situation in Ukraine and spread panic. In particular, the occupiers came up with the so-called “Maidan-3”.

Andrey Chernyak, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region, said that the lie about “Maidan-3” has become the most expensive since 2014. Although the occupiers spent tens of millions of dollars to discredit the Revolution of Dignity.

The total budget for the operation reached $1.5 billion, and it cost $250 million to run the operation, the report said.

Fake about “Maidan-3”: what is known

Vladimir Zelensky warned in November 2023 that Russia was preparing for a large-scale disinformation campaign. These shameful plans of the enemy were confirmed by Ukrainian intelligence, as well as by Ukrainian partners. The enemy’s goal is to try to create a split in Ukrainian society. The occupiers want to create “chaos” inside Ukraine and, finally, eliminate the president.

“Maidan for them is a coup, so the operation is clear,” Zelensky emphasized.

Russia is waging an active information war. The enemy is attacking Ukraine not only with missiles and drones, but also with fakes. At the same time, the Russian occupiers will not be able to achieve any of their goals.
