These actors would be compelled to blame the Ukrainian Defense Forces for regular shelling and blockades, undermine Ukraine's leadership, and praise Russian occupying forces. The SBU predicts this influence operation will commence between October and early November. Ukrainian media and citizens are urged to remain vigilant and informed about this potential threat.",
