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.
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.
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
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.
Why is every story like this?
All jingoism.
It makes it not seem real.
If the FSB did warn of an assassination plot it is probably because they want an organized surrender rather than anarchy. If the top-level authority in Ukraine is killed and the line of succession fails, then there can be no organized end to the war. It will devolve into a “crowd funded” war that could go on for years. Whereas if the elected president goes on TV and says, “We have signed an armistice and tonight at midnight all armed activity will stop,” then the Russians can declare they won and go home. If they don’t win, then they have to occupy the country and that would take all of the available troops Russia has. The idea is NOT to kill the Ukrainians or their army. The Russians need that army to maintain order and prevent Ukraine from becoming like Mexico.
Here we are on FreeRepublic furiously posting this story and that about the “war” between Ukraine & Russia.
We were treated to 4 phucking years of Russian collusion and about 25,000 other fake news stories.
Yet, here we are breathlessly believing this and that and becoming FKAs on military hardware types, battlefield tactics experts and pontificators on outcome this or outcome that.
You folks are a disgrace and a bunch of fake news suckers.
My first thought. If this report is true, and that may be a big, if, then things are beginning to seriously go sideways for Vlad.
