Leader Online Desk: Ukraine has foiled a plot to assassinate President Zelensky and detained two Ukrainian security officers in connection with this. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) informed about this on Tuesday (7th).
The SBU said there was a plot to assassinate President Zelensky and other senior Ukrainian officials. Two people have been arrested in this case and they are Putin supporters. The two were working as Ukrainian security officials. But it turned out to be part of a network of agents of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB). Their target was to become part of Zelensky's security guard team and then kidnap and kill the president. But this conspiracy has been foiled by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).'
The arrested accused were recruited before Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. They planned to kill Budanov, the head of military intelligence, before Easter. The accused were preparing to kill the army chief with drones and rockets. He had also bought them for that. SBU chief Vasyl Malyuk said the investigation revealed that he intended to give Putin a big gift before his inauguration.
