The aggressor's goal is to grab control of the state's leadership.
Ukraine's secret services figured out Putin's plan again again. However, this time it is not just about the means of assault, but also about its objectives. The following information was obtained by ZN.UA from its own sources.
According to the Russian Federation's operational plan, up to 2,000 special forces are planned to capture one of Kiev's two airports and air traffic control facilities, while the indicated number of military personnel will ensure the arrival of the main group of forces in the amount of up to 10,000 paratroopers by Il-76 aircraft, along with light armored vehicles and regular armament of the airborne troops (armored personnel carrier, Nonna, cars).
The landing operation will be overseen by the A-50 aircraft, which will be flying over Belarus and the Russian Federation.
The first stage of the landing may be carried out by helicopters or small aircraft from Belarus.
Simultaneously, sabotage organizations already on Ukrainian soil must perform sabotage at power grids and substations in order to isolate a substantial portion of the city from the power system and communications, causing fear among the people.
Separate groups of provocateurs should conduct burning and looting to further create fear and distract law enforcement authorities' attention on stabilizing the situation with public safety, rather than hunting for saboteurs, according to the plan.
At this moment, there will be a huge cyber attack against Ukraine's authorities and other critical sites. Prior to that, the front will be activated, and provocations are probable throughout the whole border line with Ukraine, forcing the military-political leadership to move the majority of combat-ready forces to the defensive line, leaving just a limited number of troops in Kiev.
The landing force's mission is to block Kiev, communications, command and control channels, seize / blow up arsenals, sow as much panic as possible, and create conditions for a panic exit from Kiev of "uncontrolled columns of refugees" that will block highways / roads, complicating the movement of troops and law enforcement agencies on Kiev's roads.
Furthermore, to seize and control the important authorities - the OP, the General Staff, the Cabinet of Ministers, and the Verkhovna Rada - and hold them until the main troops arrive.
The landing operation is assigned a day to begin - as soon as it is ready, late in the evening or at night.
The operation's DATE is uncertain; it is scheduled to take place in the following days, depending on the weather, the global political environment, and the negotiating procedures.
The planned outcome is to grab the state's leadership (it is not stated who) and force them to sign a peace treaty on Russian conditions under blackmail and the threat of killing a significant number of people.
Even if some of the state's leadership is evacuated, a pro-Russian politician will be able to assume "responsibility" and sign documents noting the "flight" of the political leadership from Kiev.
As a result, Ukraine can be split into two sections, similar to how West and East Germany or North and South Korea are separated.
Simultaneously, the Russian Federation recognizes as legitimate the portion of Ukraine that will sign these accords and remain loyal to the Russian Federation. The notion of "who controls the capital controls the state" serves as a guide.
