“There is a fairly large group of people dissatisfied with the incumbent president and ready to join the coup d'état in government bodies and in law enforcement agencies, and in power structures, including the army,” RIA Novosti quotes Kuzmin as saying on the air of the Zik channel.
According to him, the team of ex-President Petro Poroshenko is working in this direction.
He noted that these people lack a pretext for a coup that would legitimize their actions.
On August 16, Ilya Kiva, a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine from the Opposition Platform - For Life party, said that former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko was planning a coup d'etat in the country on Independence Day, August 24.
