The people on whom the Kremlin relied on in Ukraine overestimated their influence - Reuters

About it reports Reuters. Several sources of publication familiar with the Russian Federation were preparing for a full -scale war, said that military experts from the Russian President's environment hoped that due to the presence of a large -scale agent network, the Kremlin would only need a small military force and a few days to force the Presidential Office of Ukraine. Zelensky capitulate.

Dozens of officials in Ukraine and Russia were interviewed, they examined court documents and statements by investigators of people who worked in Chornobyl. As a result, the authors of the journalistic investigation concluded that the penetration of the Russian agency was much deeper than it was considered before. In an interview with Reuters, the NSDC Secter Alexei Danilov said that, in addition to external enemies, we, unfortunately, have internal ones that are no less dangerous.

Prior to the beginning of a large -scale invasion, he said, Russia had agents in the Ministry of Defense and other law enforcement agencies of Ukraine. He refused to name the names, but said that such traitors needed to be neutralized at any cost. The DBR is currently considering and finding out whether the National Guard unit was legitimate, which gave its weapons to the enemy.

DBR representatives do not comment on the issues, but in the National Guard they speak in support of their unit, calling such actions justified because there was a risk of clashes near the nuclear object. The role of the head of the ChNPP's security service, Valentin Vitr, who is now imprisoned, became the role of court documents and certificates. An investigation is being investigated, the investigation tries to answer the question whether he has legally left his position.

It also follows from the documents that he is suspected of the state community. Wind lawyer believes that there is no evidence. On the day of the invasion, the wind on the phone told the commander of the National Guard unit: "Sign your people. " One of the sources of Reuters, directly familiar with the invasion plans, claims that the Kremlin agents were sent to the Chernobyl NPPs last year for bribery of officials and bloodless seizure of the territory.

However, these messages have no independent confirmation. At the same time, it is known that the DBR has started consideration in the case of an expectorant of intelligence Andriy Naumov, he is suspected of transferring secrets related to the security of the Chernobyl NPP.

Sources of journalists confirm the message of Western intelligence that the Kremlin was preparing an exregional Oleg Tsarev for the post of head of the puppet government in Kiev after the removal from the authorities of Zelensky. The former Prosecutor General of Ukraine reported that Victor Medvedchuk was issued a special phone protected from listening so that he could contact his curators.

The fact that the Kremlin's plan for the removal of the Zelensky government failed is largely explained by the fact that not all Kremlin agents have coped with their tasks. Both Ukrainian and Russian sources speak about it. According to Danilov, agents and their puppets had a radically misunderstanding of Ukraine, they considered it weak. The people in Ukraine, which Russia expected, overestimated their influence. There are four sources familiar with the Kremlin plans.

"The Kremlin relied on their clowns, which they knew a little, but they always said that the authorities wanted to hear, otherwise they would not be paid," - said a person close to the management of separatists in eastern Ukraine, supported by the Kremlin. What the Kremlin managed to spread the distrust among Ukrainians to the SBU. The vulnerability of the Security Service, which employs about 30,000 employees, has been revealed, among whom they now have to look for traitors and collaborators.

On July 17, President Zelensky removed the head of the SBU Ivan Bakanov, with whom he was familiar with several years. The President referred to a large number of law enforcement officers suspected of the state community. In the chaos of the first days of the war, Bakanov, as chairman of the SBU, left Kiev for three days, according to three sources in the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine.

Two of them said that SBU staff could not contact him for several days from the beginning of the Russian invasion. In release Bakanov, Zelensky mentioned an article in the Armed Forces Statute, according to which executives may be released for improper performance of duties, leading to victims or posing a threat of death. After the release of Ivan Bakanov, the Excellence of the SBU became known. Bakanov decided not to talk about success in his work.
