Prepare for Russian false-flag operations in Ukraine, West on Independence Day - Main Intelligence Directorate 

Russia is likely planning false-flag operations around Ukraine's Independence Day inside the country and elsewhere: in particular, political and information special operations attacks

Andriy Yusov, a representative of the press service of the Main Directorate of Intelligence, shared the news with Espreso.

"Counterintelligence measures are actively used in our country. We must remember with you that Russia is waging a dishonorable war against Ukraine and completely different tools are used - both direct military aggression and various IPSO, and simply terrorist attacks and attacks on activists or politicians, or  officials," he said.

Yusov emphasized that Independence Day is one of those points when we should be especially prepared for various provocations against Ukraine.

"Inside Ukraine and outside. There is such information that when we talk about such actions, we are talking not only about the territory of Ukraine, but also, in particular, special informational and political operations against our state outside of Ukraine. First of all, on the territory of the Western civilized world. We are ready for this and oppose it," he concluded.
