President Vladymyr Zelenskyy, who has led Ukraine's effort to fend off Russia 's more than two-year-old incursion, said last autumn that his security services had foiled at least five Russia n plots to assassinate him.Two double agents were tasked with finding someone close to the presidential guard who would take Zelenskyy hostage and later kill him, the SBU statement says.
The two men were colonels in Ukraine's state guard service recruited by Russia's Federal Security Service who leaked classified information to Moscow, the Security Service of Ukraine said on the Telegram app. "The terrorist attack, which was supposed to be a gift to Putin for the inauguration, was indeed a failure of the Russian special services," SBU chief Vasyl Maliuk was quoted as saying by his agency on Telegram.The Kremlin declined to comment last month when asked about the arrest in Poland of a man accused of working with Russian intelligence to prepare a possible attempt to assassinate Zelenskyy.
