Ukraine reports foiled plot to assassinate President Zelenskyy | DW News

Ukraine says it thwarted a Russian plot to kidnap and assassinate Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Ukraine's security service released a message including claims to have uncovered a Russian plot to kidnap and kill President Zelenskyy and other senior military and political figures. Two officers in Ukraine's government protection unit have reportedly been arrested on suspicion of carrying out the plan, which was allegedly orchestrated by Russian intelligence agents. These aren't the first Ukrainian claims of Russian assassination plots, as the war stretches into a third year. Zelenskyy said that in 2022 alone there had been at least 10 attempts to take his life.

That probably wasn’t too wise. One should not consider assassinating the leader of another nation unless there is no exposure to like-kind retaliation.

If putin dies, this war could very well actually end as Russian politicians now has an out. They could all blame their misfortune and failures on putin
If Zelensky dies, other prominent figure would take his place since support of the war is generally supported by the Ukr people.

When you are a person of wealth, power, or fame attempts on your life is one problem that comes with it.

This guy used to be a real estate agent but because of forced conscription and the massive losses he has had to become a public relations military

We are losing town like a domino in reality not a good news to our masters. We need to create a winning story for us to get more funds from EU and US. We need to convince them otherwise begging will be hard and our cannon fodders will not be motivated. Reality check😂😂
