Ukrainian security officials have announced the prevention of a plot to overthrow the federal government in Kyiv, coinciding with increased attacks by Russia on the capital city. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) revealed that four Ukrainian civilians were detained over the weekend on suspicion of planning a coup by seizing Parliament and attempting to replace military and civilian leadership. The investigation, initiated in May, uncovered the alleged scheme.
While details of the plot remain scarce, Ukrainian authorities disclosed that the individuals involved were posing as activists organizing a peaceful rally in Kyiv on Sunday. The majority of participants at the event were reportedly unaware of the group's true intentions to establish a temporary government through coercive means.
