The Russian Federation is launching a very powerful campaign to discredit Ukraine's top military and political leadership, which could last 3-4 months. It will be related to the elections in Ukraine. This was stated by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov during a telethon, UNN reports.
"As for the help from dictatorial regimes, I can say that it will definitely not help them. Yes, it will be difficult for us. The next three to four months will be very difficult, and I say this because the Russian Federation is now launching a very powerful campaign to discredit the top military and political leadership of our country. They are starting to say that they held elections during the war, and we are not. We are ready for any challenge," Danilov said.
Recall
In late February, Chief of the Main Intelligence Directorate Kirill Budanov told reporters that Russia launched Operation Maidan 3 to create a situation in which the legitimacy of not only the president but decision-making in general in Ukraine would be questioned, with the goal of inflicting a military defeat on Ukraine on the battlefield in June 2024.
