In the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces a military coup was allegedly being prepared.

The military Prosecutor’s office has begun checks and searches in the parts of the UAF where former volunteers serve. They are accused of attempting a military coup. This was stated by former commander of the “Donbass” battalion Anatoly Vinogrodsky.

“One from our unit went to the 16th battalion of the UAF… And also they were now brought to the frontline… There the Military Prosecutor’s office arrived, and began checks and searches, etc. The main message was – they are embedding themselves in the Armed Forces in order to stage a military coup,” he said in an interview with the publication OstroV.

In the middle of November the adviser to the President Yury Biryukov on Facebook claimed that agitators-propagandists are trying to divide the Ukrainian army from within:
