KYIV: Ukraine‘s security service said Monday it had foiled yet another Russian plot to stir public unrest and then use the ensuing turmoil to topple the govt, outlining a familiar tactic that Kyiv claims has been employed in a string of coup attempts in recent years. The Ukrainian domestic intelligence agency SBU said it had discovered a “group” of conspirators it accused of planning to spark a riot, seize the parliament building and replace the military and civilian leadership.Four people have been arrested and charged. While offering little detail on how such an ambitious plan could have succeeded, officials said it was a reminder that more than two years after launching a full-scale invasion of the country, the Kremlin remained determined to bring down Prez Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s govt by any means.
