Ukraine’s intelligence agency, the SBU, claims to have foiled a Russian plot to assassinate President Zelensky.

The SBU uncovered a network of agents allegedly orchestrated by Russian intelligence, the FSB, which included two Ukrainian colonels leaking sensitive information.

The suspects, from Ukraine’s State Security Administration, face charges of treason and potential life imprisonment.

The plan involved using drones and rocket launchers to attack Zelensky and other officials, with one colonel caught attempting to acquire explosives.

The plot also targeted the heads of Ukraine’s intelligence agencies, the U.S. Sun has reported.

The failed operation was intended as a gift to Putin before his recent inauguration, highlighting what Ukraine sees as ongoing threats from Russian aggression.

Additionally, Poland recently arrested an individual suspected of collaborating with Russian security services to plan Zelensky’s assassination, reinforcing concerns about Russian interference beyond Ukraine’s borders.

Ukraine’s Prosecutor General emphasized the broader implications, labeling Russia as a threat to global security.
