Ukrainian counterintelligence investigators have foiled a Russian plot to assassinate President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and other top military and political figures, Ukraine's state security service said Tuesday.
Two colonels in the State Guard of Ukraine were detained on suspicion of enacting the plan drawn up by Russia's Federal Security Service. The plot foresaw an attack before Russian President Vladimir Putin's inauguration.
Zelensky said there have been at least 10 attempts to assassinate him, and now the war with Russia has stretched into its third year.
Zelenskiy has urged his people to keep fighting and instilled a belief that Ukraine can prevail. Ukrainian claims of Russian efforts to kill Zelenskiy are not new.
