Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was the target of an assassination plot to be carried out by a Polish pensioner who had first been recruited by the Soviet Union decades ago, the head of the country's internal security agency said.
Lieutenant General Vasyl Malyuk, head of Ukraine's SBU, the main internal security agency of the Ukrainian government, detailed the alleged plot in a closed briefing with Ukrainian media.
Malyuk said the Polish man was activated by Russia with a plan to take out Zelensky at Poland's Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport using either a first-person view drone or a sniper rifle, TSN reported.
The would-be assassin was a firm believer in Soviet ideology, RBC reported, and maintained his beliefs for years. But the plot was foiled by a joint effort between the SBU and the Polish internal security service (ABW).
Newsweek has contacted the Russian government's press service and the ABW for comment. Zelensky has been the target of many foiled assassination plots since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. In 2023, Zelensky said he had lost track of how many times there had been attempts on his life.
In May 2024, Ukraine said it had detained two Ukrainian colonels from its state security department who had leaked information to Russia and were plotting to kill Zelensky and other senior officials.

“Winston & Strawn sued Hunter Biden over what the law firm said were more than $50,000 in unpaid legal bills.
The bills were for the firm’s representation of Biden in a criminal trial in Delaware and other investigations by law enforcement, according to a lawsuit filed June 20 in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Biden was found guilty last year of three felony counts connected to the purchase of a firearm in 2018.
Former Winston & Strawn partner Abbe Lowell served as Biden’s primary lawyer at the firm. Lowell split from Winston & Strawn this year to ...”
Funny I don’t see Linda Graham mentioned anywhere in the article.

He probably planned it himself for sympathy. He says he needs $40 billion a year to run Ukraine.
The keyboard lid fell.

Putin would like to meet with Zelensky. He has invited Z to visit his downtown office, the one in the skyscraper with all those old fashioned big picture windows on the top floors.
Z is instructed to arrive to the meeting completely alone.
His Bodyguards can wait in the Open Bar downstairs in the lobby, with the Shoeshiners. “Please do not be tardy! President Putin considers deliberate tardiness to be a most personal insult!”
(parody, just for the heck of it)
I agree, no chance this story is true
The Little Green Goblin.
Defenestration is traditional in Eastern Europe & Russia.
According to other news outlets, two Ukrainian Colonels were involved:

The pensioner said to Zelensky, “Do you have an extra million rubbles for this old timer, this heroic pensioner, who fought the Germans in WWII, who is 96 years old and who hates you and your porno videos.” Zelensky said, “This is clearly an assassination attempt.”
Obviously, a go find me page was started first.
I’m guessing a Jesse Smolett type attack.
That’s to bad!
