[KP] The Security Service of Ukraine reported on another change:
"The Main Investigation Department of the SBU conducts a pre-trial investigation into criminal proceedings under Part 1 of Art. 109 of the Criminal Code - on the fact of preparation by individual citizens of Ukraine and the Russian Federation of actions with the aim of seizing state power."
The Service promised to tell the details soon, which, apparently, Vladimir Zelensky had previously disclosed. At his press marathon on Friday, the President of Ukraine, not very convincingly, stated that the coup is planned for December 1-2.
Accustomed to the comic role of the head of state, the Internet immediately dubbed it "the conspiracy of the Decembrists." Zelensky said that oligarch Rinat Akhmetov was involved in it, a billion dollars were spent on the preparation of the coup. Be patient, they say, soon you will hear everything yourself - there are some revealing audio recordings.
American journalist Christopher Miller said that he was familiar with the transcript of these conversations.
"The coup plot that President Volodymyr Zelenskiy mentioned was planned by an FSB officer and three defectors from the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, who are based in Crimea. The specifics of the conspiracy remain a little unclear because I haven't heard the full transcript or the original audio. But what I heard did not sound like a meticulous and well thought out plan. It was supposed to destabilize Ukraine from within, using the current tension between Kiev and Moscow, Zelensky and Akhmetov."
A clever move, now any protest action can be attributed to the machinations of the Kremlin, and its participants can be accused of working in the interests of the "aggressor" country.
In general, the fertility of the SBU in the field of disclosing palace coups can be envied. Just a week ago, a "conspiracy of anti-Axis officers" was revealed, which, on the instructions of the "Russian curators", tried to destabilize the socio-political situation in the state."
The SBU has at its disposal unconditional evidence of the involvement of the defendants in illegal activities, including correspondence, during which the attackers were looking for weapons and accomplices who were supposed to seize power in the regions. Then they were going to create their own territorial communities on the territory of Ukraine with “their own police” and “economy,” the Ukrainians were told at the time.
And in 2019, for example, Poroshenko's plan was exposed, according to which he was going to arrange a new Maidan. The corresponding notes were published, but the case was never given a course.
In the same year, the SBU uncovered a similar conspiracy by a certain "First National Ukrainian Congress," which surprisingly did without the "hand of Moscow".
How not to recall the attempt to seize power by Nadezhda Savchenko, which she planned almost personally with the former head of the DPR Alexander Zakharchenko. The case also ended in zilch. But there are weapons caches for a good sabotage detachment "found."
True, the authorities trust each time less and less. Because instead of explanations about the failure of the beginning of the heating season and the soaring gas prices in space, people are fed with poorly glued horror stories. This technique has lost its expiration date even under Poroshenko. They expected something different from Zelensky.
