Russia's attack on Ukraine is obviously aimed at completely destroying and carving up this neighboring country. It was said to be a secret plan from the Kremlin, which Ukrainian secret services now claim to have intercepted. Vadym Skibitsky, deputy chief of Ukraine's military intelligence service, said Moscow wanted to split the country of 40 million people into three parts.

Skibitsky said that the division plan was developed by the Russian Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces at the end of 2023, and is intended to become the basis of Russian defense planning until at least 2035 and be developed by the end of 2023. “Russia’s strategic goal remains the complete occupation of our country,” said Ukraine’s Interfax news agency Skibitsky. «The scenario of the fragmentation of our territory is not only relevant to the period before 2045. It’s going to be in the near future, 2026, or even earlier,” Skibitsky warned.

Russia wants to destroy Ukraine

Under the partition plan, the entire region of eastern Ukraine, including the Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporozhye oblasts, as well as Crimea, would fall into Russian hands. Skibitsky recalled that Putin had included these areas in the constitution as Russian territory. Moscow wants central and largest regions of Ukraine, including the capital Kiev and the Black Sea port city of Odessa, to transform into “pro-Russian state entities.” This map shows how Russia plans to divide Ukraine if it wins the war:

In this remnant state, Russia will establish a puppet government that will govern the country strictly according to Moscow's instructions. According to the Kremlin's secret plans, the authorities of this “state unit” would be composed of pro-Russian employees and Russian soldiers would control the area. The western region of Ukraine has been labeled a “disputed region”: Russia will negotiate its fate with neighboring Hungary, Poland and Romania.

Secret Service Director: Genocide planned for a long time

Skibitsky said Russia's covert plans also showed how quickly the Kremlin adapted to changing external conditions: “We see how quickly they change their plans, depending on the success of their actions and the international community's Reaction.” Agent. He also believed that Russia might pass on the partition plan to Western countries, such as future U.S. President Donald Trump, as the basis for the postwar order. Skibicki said so far he has no information that this happened. But he couldn't rule it out.

Ukraine's military intelligence agency HUR also has information that Russia has attacked Ukraine with the intention of committing genocide. HUR Director Kyrylo Budanow reported that the plan had been in place long before the Russian attack on February 24, 2022: “Preparations for the genocide of Ukrainians included the creation of death lists, The use of mobile crematoriums and the exhumation of large numbers of bodies, Budanov told a meeting in Kiev, the Kyiv Post reported.

Russia pursues “systematic policy of genocide”

Before the attack, Russian soldiers received instructions on where and how best to build mass graves. Budanov said the purpose of the Russian death list was to eliminate Ukrainian elites. Russia wants to systematically murder politicians and public figures, scientists and journalists, writers and clergy, Ukrainian and history teachers, and military veterans. Budanov said Russia's atrocities in Butsa, Izyum, Mariupol and other cities were evidence of a “systematic policy of genocide.”

“These atrocities were not random acts of violence but a planned implementation of Russian policy,” the intelligence chief explained. “The genocide of Ukrainians was not only an official Russian state policy, but also a deep-seated, top-down imposition. social beliefs.”
