Two Ukrainian colonels who protect top officials were reportedly detained on suspicion of enacting the plan drawn up by Russia's Federal Security Service.
Ukrainian counterintelligence investigators have foiled a Russian plot to assassinate President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other top military and political figures, Ukraine’s state security service said Tuesday.
It quoted the head of the State Security Service, Vasyl Maliuk, as saying the plot foresaw an attack before Russian President Vladimir Putin’s inauguration for a fifth term on Tuesday. Maliuk said that he personally oversaw the top-secret operation to track the plot. Also, prosecutors in Poland said last month that a Polish man had been arrested on allegations of being ready to spy on behalf of Russia’s military intelligence in an alleged plot to assassinate Zelenskyy.Polish man arrested in alleged plot to assassinate Ukraine's Zelenskyy AP via Scripps News 10:27 AM, Apr 18, 2024 Zelenskyy’s movements are kept secret for security reasons, and his visits around the country are publicly announced only after he has left.
The Ukrainian statement said the Russian intelligence agents targeting Zelenskyy sought out members of the Ukrainian military close to the president’s security detail who could take the head of state hostage and later kill him. The operation was run from Moscow, it said, providing the names of three alleged Russian spies behind the conspiracy.
