Russia’s plot to kill Zelenskyy foiled

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:16:51 GMT

Ukraine’s security service said Monday it had detained a Russian informant who planned to assassinate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last month. The alleged informant “was preparing a Russian airstrike in the Mykolaiv region during the visit of the president of Ukraine,” the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) said.The woman was “gathering intelligence” about the “the time and list of locations of the approximate route” of Zelenskyy’s visit to Mykolaiv at the end of July. Based on the information, a “massive” Russian airstrike would have assassinated Zelenskyy, the SBU said.The plotter was caught “red-handed,” according to the SBU, while giving information to the Russians. The SBU subsequently increased security measures after the informant’s “subversive activities” were uncovered. The informant, who has not been named, had previously worked as a saleswoman in a military store and lived in the southern Ukrainian city of Ochakov.

But in recent days he has started publicly questioning the lies that Trump and his allies have made about the election’s legitimacy.Federal and state election officials and Trump’s own attorney general said there was no credible evidence the election’s outcome was affected by fraud. The former president’s allegations were also roundly rejected by courts at the time, including judges he appointed.Last week, Trump was charged by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith with four felonies related to his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 elec...
