President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine claims Ukrainian security agencies have obtained intelligence about the ongoing talks between representatives of Ukraine and Russia on the possible participation of Rinat Akhmetov in the coup, APA reports citing Ukrinform.
The statement came during Zelensky’s press marathon “Thirty questions to the President of Ukraine” on Friday, November 26, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
Akhmetov is allegedly being drawn into it by someone from his entourage, Zelensky added.
“There are great internal challenges our state is facing, already being recorded by foreign intelligence agencies. I’ll tell you frankly, I’m living within this process. For example, I received information that on the 1st (of December - ed.) there will be a coup d'etat in our country. I think this is important information, December 1-2 ... it’s not only intelligence that we have, it’s also audio intercepts, where representatives of Ukraine, so to speak, discuss with representatives of Russia Rinat Akhmetov's participation in the coup in Ukraine. They suggest a billion dollars will be allocated, and so on. I believe that this is a setup targeting businessman Rinat Akhmetov, I believe that this is an operation. He is being dragged into the war against the state of Ukraine. I think he started it, I think it will be a big mistake for him, because you can't fight against your people, against the president who was elected by the people of Ukraine," the head of state said.
