More mercenaries connected to the Russian Wagner private military company arrived in Ukraine on Sunday with the objective of assassinating top Ukrainian military and political leadership, Ukraine's Intelligence Directorate claimed on Sunday.
The directorate asserted that the main targets of the mercenaries included Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Presidential Chief of Staff Andrii Yermak and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
Russian President Vladimir Putin "personally ordered another attack by one of his proxies," said the Directorate. "All previous attempts ended in the failure and elimination of terrorists.
Zelensky was allegedly nearly assassinated three times in the week of March 4, according to a report by The Times.
Ukrainian Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov said on March 1 that one assassination attempt by Chechen special forces was foiled when the unit was "eliminated." The special unit belonged to the Kadyrovites, a Chechen paramilitary organization aiding Russian forces in their invasion of Ukraine.
The other team was from the Wagner mercenary group, which is linked to the Russian government.
The Times stated that both groups were foiled by "anti-war elements within Russia’s Federal Security Service,"
The Intelligence Directorate asserted that Russia was attempting to destabilize and demoralize Ukraine by conducting assassinations, among other measures.
Prior to the war, Foreign Policy magazine reported that US intelligence services had obtained information that there was a list of Ukrainian politicians, activists, and Russian and Belarusian dissidents that Russia would target if they invaded Ukraine.

They claim alot of things. Must be true.
They should try to catch one alive and then use the truth serum during a televised interview. Would make for good propaganda and piss off Putin to no end.
Wagners are busy helping the locals to chase the French colonizers out of Africa. That’s to make sure that the stupid Euro-arseholes won’t supplement the energy and resources lost to the Russian sanctions.
Macron laughs at the Germans with his nuke powerplants, but they need fuel either, which he is not going to get.

The CIA intelligence directorate.
Ever get the feeling that if everyone who had a grudge went after the elites, they’d shut up and hide? What if the ruled threw their crap down, picked up their arms and went hunting? I wonder what would happen then, a real poser dontcha think?
Now that is silly. There is no shortage of uranium ore in the world for nuclear fuel.
And nobody is chasing the French out of Africa.
The problem with available sources is that they are already part of existing supply chain.
As for what is happening in Africa, you need to pay better attention.
Is China a New Colonial Power? - The Diplomat
China is said to propping up its own industries by extracting raw materials, such as minerals, fossil fuels, and agricultural commodities, from all over the world, with Africa as its main target. China is “present” in 39 African countries and is the continent’s biggest trade partner.Nov 9, 2020
One man’s colonialist is another man’s ally and investor.
Who becomes leader of Ukraine if Zelenskyy gets assassinated? And what’s known about that person?
“… The Times stated that both groups were foiled by “anti-war elements within Russia’s Federal Security Service,” …”

LOL - Yet another attempt by Ukrainian intelligence to stir up paranoia within Russia’s leadership. Can’t blame them for trying…even if in an amateurish manner.
Send gossip columnists to Kiev to give his comedy act bad reviews.
I wonder how many of Wagner group are pre-positioned in DC. Unaccountable and untouchable traitors like Mueller invited its godfather the FSB at the FBI…
Announce a 25 Mil bounty on Putin’s head.
Literally, it has to be ‘ for the head’
5 K for each pair of Wagner ears
Duh. Of course they’re trying to assassinate him.
It could be a game changer if Zelensky or Putin wake up dead one day.
Putin’s death would likely end the war, Zelensky’s would likely not.
If Zelensky signed a peace deal (or surrender) the world would mostly see that as a legitimate action of the Ukrainian Government. If he is killed, anything but continued resistance to the Russians will be cast into doubt as a sell out by puppets installed by Russia.
Zelensky is critical to the legitimacy of any peace settlement.
