A recent alleged assassination plot against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was foiled over the weekend and the Chechen servicemen sent from Russia were “destroyed,” a Ukrainian security leader said Tuesday.
Oleksiy Danilov, the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, said during a broadcast marathon airing on Ukrainian TV channels that officials were recently tipped off that a unit of Kadyrovites, elite Chechen special forces, was on its way to kill Zelensky. After Ukrainian officials were informed by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), the Chechen special forces were killed Saturday on the outskirts of Kyiv, Danilov said.
“We are well aware of the special operation that was to take place directly by the Kadyrovites to eliminate our president. And I can say that we have received information from the FSB, who today do not want to take part in this bloody war,” Danilov said. “And thanks to this, the Kadyrov elite group was destroyed, which came here to eliminate our president.”
*** According to the Ukrainian newspaper Ukrayinska Pravda, Putin instructed Kadyrov, the Chechen leader, last month to carry out the assassination.
“The task of the Chechens was defined as the cleansing of Kyiv, the physical liquidation and preventive work with Ukrainian leaders,” the newspaper wrote.
Danilov said he was thankful for members of Russia’s Federal Security Service who alerted Ukrainian officials to the assassination plot. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense claimed over the weekend that the Ukrainian military had defeated a special unit of the Chechen National Guard. Among those killed was Gen. Magomed Tushaev, the commander of the 141st motorized regiment of the Chechen National Guard, reported Ukrayinska Pravda.

The Washington Compost is an unimpeachable source!!
Sorry but without incontrovertible, gruesome hard evidence, people are not believing these claims.
The only way pukin will be stopped is from within his comrad group.
Seems like PsyOps to get Putin to engage in an internal purge.
Was this before or after the Ghost of Kevin shot down two Russian transports?
Zelenskyy should do a Tito....
“Stop sending people to kill me. We’ve already captured five of them, one of them with a bomb and another with a rifle… If you don’t stop sending killers, I’ll send one to Moscow, and I won’t have to send another.”
No way to know if true or if disinformation. We live in an era where both the media and government lie with impunity to forward a specific agenda.
So Russia's own FBI/CIA, tell their enemy about a plot against the Ukraine President. Ukraine officials then PUBLICLY thank them, and this information is broadcast by the mouthpiece of the CIA, the Washington Post.
Got it. Makes perfect sense.
I feel I’ve read this story a dozen times over the past three days, and here it is again with a “March 2” date.
Pix or vids or it didn’t happen.
Yes. All these stories could be disinformation. It’s hard to keep in mind but like covid now all of a sudden we are hit with many stories about ‘go into Ukraine’. The left seems to be all for it and this story to drum up support to protect Zelensky. We should stay out of this whole thing, imho.
How much BS are you willing to buy from the fake news?
I salute the brave, iron-willed, Iranian security forces.
FSB is internal and GRU is military - KGB used to do it all.
So Chrechens aren’t as clever as the masad
Makes as much sense as the US turning over all the Intel it had on the Russian invasion to the Chinese ... who then gave all of it to the Russians.
The Ukrainians are doing a great job of getting inside Putin’s head, which must be spinning. In 1938 The Nazis did something similar to Stalin, and he killed a lot of the best officers in the Red Army.
Actually they were tipped off not by some intel service, but by a defecting Russian conscript.
Putin would have just had him killed a few weeks ago if he wanted to . He wouldn’t wait till after an invasion when zelensky is probably in some bunker surrounded by armed guards.
