MOSCOW, November 17. /TASS/. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is concerned that a new "Maidan"-type coup is being plotted in Ukraine in order to oust him, and he says Russia is behind these plans, Bloomberg reported after Zelensky’s meeting with foreign reporters.

"We receive this information from our intelligence and our partners," he said.

Zelensky claimed that the operation, which he dubbed "Maidan-3," is allegedly being plotted by Russia in order to carry out a coup in Ukraine.

Recently, the Ukrainian media has been actively reporting that a rift exists inside the Ukrainian ruling elite. In particular, they point out the controversies between Zelensky and top military brass, including Ukrainian armed forces commander General Valery Zaluzhny. Previously, Zaluzhny published an article for The Economist in which he essentially criticized the Ukrainian offensive strategy.
