⚡️Russia’s plan to seize #Kyiv, according to Ukrainska Pravda intelligence sources:
- Intensify attacks along the border, so troops leave Kyiv.
- Seize Kyiv’s airports, as saboteurs disconnect the city from electricity & comms, & organize arson & looting to create panic (1/5)
- Cyber attack on government websites, followed by inducing more panic to create “uncontrolled columns of refugees” from Kyiv to block highways and hinder movement of #Ukrainian troops.
- Russian forces would try to capture and hold government buildings. (2/5)
- Their desired goal is to seize the leadership of the state (whom that is is not specified) and force them to sign a peace agreement on #Russian terms, threatening large civilian deaths. (3/5)
- Even if part of the country’s leadership is evacuated, some pro-Russian politicians will be able to “take responsibility” & sign documents, citing the “escape” of the political leadership from Kyiv. (4/5)
The end result would be a partition of Ukraine, like East & West Germany. (5/5)
