Ukraine leader claims there was evidence of coup plot

This may include adverts from us and 3rd parties based on our understanding. Volodymyr Zelenskiy also claimed that there was evidence of a plot to stage a coup d etat - although he did not specifically implicate Russia in this. At a news conference on Friday, Mr Zelenskiy suggested every day there was a chance of war - although he also suggested that the two countries had been in conflict for eight years.

In recent days, Russia, which annexed Crimea in 2014, has massed troops close to its border with Ukraine in a move that has alarmed NATO director-general Jens Stoltenberg. Zelenskiy said he had uncovered a plot to stage the coup next week. He said we have big internal challenges that come from the Russian Federation and possible escalation.

On December 1, I received information that a coup d'etat will take place in our country. He said we are fully prepared for any escalation and are in full control of our borders. Zelenskiy did not offer any further details of the coup attempt and did not accuse the Russian state of involvement. Sturgeon's approval rating takes a fresh battering.

Earlier this month, Mr Putin accused the West of aggravating the situation in other regions close to his country's borders, without mentioning Ukraine. He said that we always express our concerns about these actions, talk about red lines, but we also understand that our partners are very peculiar and do not take all our warnings and talks on red lines seriously.

Our concerns about NATO's expansion to the east were completely ignored even though the relationships between Russia and our Western partners, including the US, were unique and almost at the level of allied relations. And now let us see where the NATO military infrastructure is: it is right near our borders, while missile defence systems have been deployed in Romania and Poland and can be easily employed, considering that MK 41 launchers stationed there can operate as strike complexes. Russia sent a series of military exercises in the Black Sea on Wednesday involving 10 aircraft plus ships, as well as a series of military exercises in the Black Sea.
