After deep fakes appeared in an attempt show discord between Ukrainian military and political leadership, Zelensky points to a Russian disinformation campaign meant to incite chaos and overthrow him.

WNU Editor: I am sure the Kremlin would be happy to see Zelensky gone. But I doubt that a coup is possible in Kyiv.

Since he says that the information on this came from “partners,” it is even possible that the U.S. is trying to “shake-up” the social-psychology situation amongst would-be “constructive” putschists and even to hint or foreshadow propitious paths to success.
One possible strand, out of many possibilities
Turnabout is fair play, after all.
Interesting admission that by his estimate "maidan revolutions" are foreign engineered coups. Really activates the almonds, doesn't it?
