At the end of February, the head of the National Security and Defense Council's Center for Strategic Communications Andriy Kovalenko stated that Russian special services had begun active information operations aimed at undermining the unity of the EU and supporting Ukraine. According to him, they are recruiting politicians, spreading lies about "terrorist acts", "Ukrainian terrorists", and "the division of Ukraine."
