### Intelligence on the preparation of the operation

Recently, Pavlo Palisa, Deputy Head of the Office of the President, disclosed intelligence data: in his words, the Russian military leadership received an order from the Kremlin to plan several variants of a possible operation in the direction of Kyiv and Chernihiv. The Ukrainian General Staff, it is noted, is already working through response scenarios to possible Russian actions.
