A representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) reported that there is data on the active subversive activities of the former curator of Ukraine in the Kremlin, Inal Ardzinba, who worked under the leadership of Vladyslav Surkov, and is now connected to one of Russia's private information companies. Andriy Yusov, a representative of the GUR, expressed his belief that Putin's expert Vladislav Surkov and Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation Serhiy Kiriyenko are behind the special operation "Maidan 3" against Ukraine.
Yusov claims that this campaign to destabilize the situation inside the country involves persons who are in Ukraine and act as objects of influence. He noted that the administration has lists of persons whom Russia can involve in the organization of mass protests in Ukraine.
According to Yusov, such persons are often contacted through intermediaries, and among them may be public and political figures, leaders of public opinion.
"Now I cannot name specific names. But there are lists of people with whom the enemy works, and there is a task to attract them to spread their rhetoric and influence the socio-political situation in the country. These are dozens of people, if we are talking about influential categories," Yusov said, adding that this could apply to both people in Ukraine and abroad.
According to intelligence data, Telegram channels and bot farms are actively being created for Russian special operations, which amplify Russian rhetoric in social networks.
On March 1, Yusov named several names behind the Maidan-3 organization. Among them are the first deputy head of the administration of the President of the Russian Federation, Serhiy Kiriyenko, and the former assistant to Putin, Vladislav Surkov.
The list also includes persons who are in Russia after fleeing from Ukraine.
"It is clear that all traitorous collaborators, who have been sheltered by Muscovy at the moment, will be involved in this in one way or another," Yusov noted.
In addition, the list includes persons living in Ukraine whose information is being checked.
