Russia planning wave of fake 'peaceful protests' across Ukraine's major cities

Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets reported the information.

According to available information, Russian special services may be preparing a series of protest actions in large cities of the south and east — Odesa, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv — as well as in Kyiv.

According to Dmytro Lubinets, the Russians plan to involve mainly women on a paid basis, including mothers of Ukrainian servicemen — prisoners of war or missing in action. Russia expects that this will create the necessary emotional background, ensure media coverage, and provoke public resonance.

"According to Russia's plan, these measures should become an instrument for destabilizing the internal political situation and creating pressure on the Ukrainian military-political leadership — especially amid consultations between Ukraine and the United States on the terms of ending the war," Dmytro Lubinets wrote.
