Multi-level operation. How the Russian Federation wanted to kill Zelensky
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Korrespondent] An assassination attempt was being prepared on Vladimir Zelensky Two colonels of the UGO, who, by order of the Russian special services, were preparing an assassination attempt on the President of Ukraine, were detained. On May 7, the Security Service of Ukraine reported that it had prevented an assassination attempt on the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, as well as the military-political leadership of the state - the head of the SBU Vasily Malyuk and the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate Kirill Budanov. The assassination attempt was prepared by carefully hidden colonels of the State Security Administration, who “leaked” secret information to Russia. They were led by FSB agents from Moscow. WHAT WAS THE PLAN In total, according to the SBU press service, the network included five FSB agents. They were actively developing plans to eliminate Zelensky. Another task of the network was to search for executors among the military close to the president’s security, who could take the head of state hostage and subsequently kill him. In addition to the president, the Kremlin planned to eliminate the head of the SBU, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate and other officials. For example, the liquidation of Kirill Budanov was going to be carried out before Easter. According to the SBU, the enemy’s plan was as follows: first, the recruited agent had to observe the movement of the protected person and transmit information to the enemy. It was planned to launch a missile strike at the coordinates of the building where the official was supposed to be located. Then they were going to attack with a drone the people remaining at the site of the defeat. After this, the Russians planned to hit another missile, including to destroy traces of the drone’s use. It is noted that the weapons for the Russian agent were provided by the UGO colonel, who personally brought FPV drones, RPG-7 charges, as well as MON-90 anti-personnel mines to Kiev. The SBU recorded both the trips of a UGO colonel to another region of Ukraine to buy drones and explosives, as well as conversations between a potential perpetrator of a terrorist attack and a “curator” from the FSB. Vasily Malyuk says that he knew about the preparation of Kremlin agents to kill Zelensky and him personally. “A limited circle of people knew about our special operation, and I personally controlled its progress. The terrorist attack, which was supposed to be a gift to Putin for the inauguration, was in fact a failure of the Russian special service. But we must not forget - the enemy is strong and experienced, he cannot be underestimated,” he noted. According to the SBU, employees of the 9th Directorate of the Operational Information Department of the 5th Service oversaw the organization of the terrorist attack. In particular, Maxim Mishustin, Dmitry Perlin and Alexey Kornev. “In particular, in January 2022, Perlin became the curator of the “moles” who were recruited even before the full-scale invasion of Russia. By that time, his colleague Alexey Kornev was “taking care of” them. So, before the start of a full-scale war, Kornev held a series of secret meetings with the UGO colonel on territories of neighboring European states. Funds for agents were also usually transferred abroad,” the SBU press service noted. The suspect was chosen as a preventive measure - detention. They face life imprisonment. MULTI-LEVEL OPERATION Military expert, Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznev says that the SBU employees showed unprecedented professionalism, because “in conditions of carefully concealed agents of influence directly in the UGO, that is, in the structure responsible for preserving the life and health of our president, it was possible to identify them.” “This is a very cool consequence of a multi-level and long-term military operation. Obviously, they could be preparing a gift for Putin in the form of the murder of our key government and military officials. But the fact that ours worked ahead of the curve is an honor and praise to our special forces,” he said on air Espresso. According to Seleznev, intensifying Russian counterintelligence activities currently remains a key issue. “Because now, when we begin to receive weapons, equipment, ammunition from our Western partners and move them across the expanses of Ukraine, it is extremely important to protect this process from prying eyes and ears. We need to work proactively to prevent the Russians from identifying logistics routes and ways to move weapons, which are very necessary on the battlefield,” the military man added.
