The security service of Ukraine is called the SBU. The security service of Russia is called the FSB. Just another example of American reporters who are too lazy to do research. What else is new?

No they are snuffing out a whistle blower Boeing style

That was a Ukrainian plot, when Putin decides to take Z out he will.

178th killing attempt bravely fended off by superhero Elensky, how is western media themselves not tired from this?

[panzerkampfwagen]

Why would they want to take out the clown and let someone better in charge?

[alexandrnoskov]

Why don’t you consider the option that the Ukrainian army has completely given up on Zelensky?

Since Russia put Zelensky on the wanted list, now it's just a matter of time till he tests the Russian holly tea.

Zelenskyy regime is on its last legs and it can't be propped up even until November.

Sounds like corruption and abusing power to me.

Now Zelensky will ask USA for a trillion dollars,

*If true, * I guess Moscow figured that if the "hiding" Zelenskyy cannot be canceled from the outside, the solution must be to follow him into the bunker to get the job done.🙂

[Chris-whyz]

One day it will be an entire brigade after zelensky.

[afridgetoofar]

If you heard it on NBC, it must be true!

[ALF]

It's in Russia's interests to let this comedian live.

[rogeliolopez]

"This is a war Puppet Zelesky not a child's game!!"

[Deliverydragon]

Too bad, the war could have finally been over

[Neimfeltrite]

There used to be a time when developed nations had an unsaid agreement that heads-of-state would not be targeted unless captured or they surrendered. I guess that's out the window.

7 km over 3 months is not really advancing 😏 matter fact I think they said 5 km

[ovidiubotan]

His own people will eliminate him. People are getting tired of him watching thousands of soldiers dying every day. Had he stayed neutral and not listened to Boris Johnson would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

This is almost certainly an internal matter. Why would russia want to remove zelensky? Hes the worst leader they could ask for. The guy is a literal amatuer. Especially when it comes to the military.
