“The Main Investigation Department of the Security Council of Ukraine carries out a pre-trial investigation into criminal proceedings for the commission of actions aimed at seizing state power.
The production was opened following the preparation by individual citizens of Ukraine and Russia of actions with the aim of seizing state power, ”the SBU said.
The progress of the investigation will be reported at a later date.
Earlier at a press conference, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he had received information about the upcoming coup d'etat in Ukraine and that the participation of businessman Rinat Akhmetov in this was being discussed.
At the same time, Akhmetov called Zelensky's words about his alleged involvement in the preparation of a coup d'etat as a lie.
As noted in the Kremlin, Russia "does not deal with such matters."
The US State Department, in turn, took note of the statement by President Zelensky.
