Ukrainian society does not support coup attempts - President

Ukrainian society has not and does not support coup attempts in our country. This was emphasized by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview for 1 + 1 TV channel.

"I am very glad that our society does not support such destabilizing steps by some groups. And I am very happy that these groups saw that the society does not support them. But we are monitoring the situation very closely," the President said.

The President noted that he cannot reveal all the details, but he believes that the plans of some forces to forcibly change the government in Ukraine have not changed globally. However, they received signals, including from Ukraine's international partners, that forced them to halt their intentions.

"I think some people received a message from our strategic partners - some had dialogues, received certain signals. I think they have changed their plans a little bit, "Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

The Head of State also drew attention to the fact that some oligarchs are trying to blackmail the government with possible power outages in some regions of Ukraine. But there will be no mass shutdowns, he assured.

"Blackmail at the local level will take place. These are steps to make a kind of information wave, to show it in the media… Globally, we have a stable energy situation, as I promised. Because we agreed on this both at the local level and with all representatives of power generation. We have everything to ensure a normal, stable heating season. Tariffs will be normal, as we said. There will be no mass shutdowns," the President stressed.
