The 2022 Ukrainian coup d'état attempt refers to a failed attempt by Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) to overthrow the Ukrainian government and install a pro-Russian rule in various Ukrainian cities for the further surrender of cities to the Russian Army during 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Russian intelligence agency FSB and recruited ATO veterans was to carry out the coup at the beginning of 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, however, coup plan was ultimately cancelled due to the fact that people who were set to participate in coup were detained by Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).[1][2]
Coup plan[edit]
The planning of the coup began no later than the summer of 2021 as an unknown Russian agent, who was set to be one of the coup participants, said that Russian intelligence recruited him in the summer of 2021. The agent stated that after he was recruited, he and the Russian intelligence agency held a "republican meeting", after which they had to accept a number of documents, including an appeal to the current Ukrainian authorities, in which Russia calls on the Ukrainian authorities to surrender. According to the agent, if Ukraine refuses to do this, then there should be "a forceful solution", which most likely refers to a coup. The coup itself was to be carried out by recruited ATO veterans in Ukraine, who subsequently had to take part in the seizure of administrative buildings in various Ukrainian cities, followed by the installation of pro-Russian leadership in them, surrender and transfer of Ukrainian cities to Russian troops. After the coup, the Verkhovna Rada was to be dissolved and replaced by a pro-Russian People's Rada, which was to play the role of a pro-Russian puppet government on the occupied territory of Ukraine and the newly created People's republics in Western Ukraine. Also, during the coup, several Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups, consisting of 5–10 people each, were supposed to carry out terrorist attacks and sabotage in Ukraine, however, due to the fact that coup plan was eventually cancelled due to the fact that the organizer and key persons of the coup were detained by the SBU in early March in the Ivano-Frankivsk and Khmelnytskyi Oblasts, terrorist attacks and sabotage also did not take place.[3][1][2]
