Stop sending people to kill me. We've already captured five of them, one of them with a bomb and another with a rifle… If you don't stop sending killers, I'll send one to Moscow, and I won't have to send a second.
~~Communism~~ Assassinating Vladimir Putin has never been tried.
Wait... so they didnt try assassinate Putin yet? What are they waiting for?
That is an original quote from Tito, the dictator of Yugoslavia, directed at Joseph Stalin
Ukraine is very good at 2 things: 1) building combat drones out of spare parts and trash and 2) catching Russian assassins. Also, pissing off Russia, which makes #1 and 2 very valuable.
Edit: also a third: attracting Putin trolls 😂
(Thx to the mods for keeping things tidy)
Two colonels in the State Guard of Ukraine, which protects top officials, were detained on suspicion of enacting the plan drawn up by Russia’s Federal Security Service, or FSB
Damn. That's pretty high up the totem pole.
Russia trying to assassinate somebody? Never…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Two colonels in the State Guard of Ukraine, which protects top officials, were detained on suspicion of enacting the plan drawn up by Russia’s Federal Security Service, or FSB, a statement said.
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.
Zelenskyy’s movements are kept secret for security reasons, and his visits around the country are publicly announced only after he has left.
Zelenskyy has proved to be a valuable asset for his country as the war against Ukraine’s bigger neighbor grinds on, and as Kyiv’s depleted forces wait for more troops and weapons.
The operation was run from Moscow, it said, providing the names of three alleged Russian spies behind the conspiracy.
The broader plan was to identify the location of senior Ukrainian officials and target them with a rocket attack, followed by drones and missiles.
