Russia has developed a “three-layer” plan to break Ukraine – GUR

In May, Russia will launch a “three-layer” plan to destabilize Ukraine, consisting of military, disinformation and international components. This was said on Thursday, May 2, by the Deputy Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Vadim Skibitsky, writes The Economist.

According to him, the main factor is the military, because despite the adoption by the US Congress of a decision to increase military aid to Ukraine, a lot of time has been lost. Therefore, it will take several weeks before he reaches the front line.

“In addition, it is unlikely that this assistance will be comparable to stockpiles of Russian shells or provide effective protection against the guided bombs that Russia drops on Ukraine every day,” said the GUR representative.

The second “layer,” Skibitsky believes, is Russia’s disinformation campaign in Ukraine, aimed at undermining Ukrainian mobilization and the political legitimacy of Vladimir Zelensky, whose presidential term ends on May 20.

“Although the Constitution clearly allows for an indefinite extension of powers during martial law, his opponents have emphasized the president’s weakness,” the intelligence official pointed out.

The third factor, the general said, is Russia’s ongoing campaign to isolate Ukraine from the rest of the world.

“They will destabilize the situation in any way,” Skibitsky said.

In the past, Skibitsky said how long it would take Russia to conquer the Baltic countries.
