According to intelligence, the task of the Kremlin's next hybrid operation is to:
● justify a war of aggression;
● discredit Ukraine and Western countries;
● impose unacceptable terms of negotiations;
● improve its own position in the region;
and also to reduce the economic and political pressure that Moscow is experiencing because of its aggression and war crimes.
The DIU emphasizes that in order to achieve these goals, Russia is intensively using its agent network, propaganda and diplomatic missions.

Also, as part of the operation, Russians are sending propaganda materials to the embassies of other states in Cairo, which justify the war against Ukraine," the statement said.
According to the intelligence, these are, in particular, two papers titled: "On the Role of the West in the Conflict in Ukraine" and "On the Situation Around Ukraine.
"These materials present Putin's version of the history of Ukraine since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and present terrorist aggressive Russia as a victim. The key idea promoted by the Kremlin in the Middle East is that there is no alternative to the scenario it has imposed to end the war. It includes depriving Ukraine of military assistance from the West, the cessation of hostilities by the Security and Defense Forces of our country, Moscow's retention of control over the occupied Ukrainian territories, and other nonsense like "eternal non-aligned status," "denazification" and "demilitarization," the intelligence summarized.
