The SBU stated that the two were involved in the conspiracy orchestrated by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) through an intelligence leak and that one of them was caught traveling to different parts of Ukraine to receive explosives and information from his contact in Moscow. .
“One of the tasks of the FSB’s secret service network was to search, among the military personnel close to the president’s protection, for those who could take him hostage and, subsequently, assassinate him,” explains the SBU report.
In addition to President Zelensky, the SBU claims that Russia’s targets also included the head of the Security Service, Vasily Maliuk, and the head of the Ministry of Defense’s secret services, Kirilo Budanov, who was supposed to be killed before Orthodox Easter, this year celebrated on March 31st.
“The terrorist attack, which was supposed to be a gift to Putin before the inauguration [hoje efetuada], was in fact a failure of the Russian special services. But we must not forget that the enemy is strong and experienced and cannot be underestimated”, warned the head of the SBU, Vasili Maliuk.
