Ukrainian special services found out Putin's plan to capture Kiev by paratroopers.

Goal: The Kremlin wants to create "two Ukraines".

•As ZN.ua writes, according to the operational plan of the Russian Federation, up to 2 thousand special forces are planned to capture one of the two airports in Kiev.

•Further, up to 10,000 more paratroopers will arrive in the capital by Il-76 aircraft along with light armored vehicles.

•One of the tasks is to seize the Ukrainian government and, through blackmail, force them to sign agreements on Russia's terms.

•Even if the authorities have time to evacuate, one of the pro-Russian political puppets will head the government, arguing this with the flight of the previous leadership.

•As a result, Ukraine can be divided into two parts - according to the principle of West and East Germany, or North and South Korea.
