The SSU and Ukraine’s intelligence agencies have received information that russian intelligence services are plotting provocations against Ukraine in the international arena. The enemy’s aim is to undermine support of our foreign allies and to split Ukrainian society from within.

According to russia’s plan, a large-scale information and psychological operation would lead to a change in sentiment in the states of the anti-russian coalition and would encourage representatives of Ukrainian political elite to promote narratives on the need for a negotiation process with russia upon freezing the war.

The russian intelligence agencies planned to actively support such statements through pro-russian political forces abroad.

The enemy’s plans include involving individual Ukrainian politicians in such subversive efforts during their visits to the third states.

According to the available intelligence, information on the planned meeting of the head of the European Solidarity party P. Poroshenko with Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who systematically expresses an anti-Ukrainian position, is a ‘putin’s friend’ and calls for lifting of anti-russian sanctions, can be viewed within this context.

russia intended to use this meeting (as well as other ‘working meetings’ of Ukrainian politicians with foreign representatives supporting pro-russian narratives) in its info- and psyops against Ukraine.

The SSU has notified the Office of the President, the Cabinet of Ministers and the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on the need to take into account the information on the enemy’s plans when organising and approving foreign trips of Ukrainian delegations.

As a result, the leadership of Ukraine’s parliament did not grant permission for a foreign trip of the Ukrainian MP, who was to become a tool in the hands of russian special services.

The SSU reminds that, according to the law, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is the main executive authority that forms and implements state policy on foreign relations.
