Ukraine detained a Russian informant working to gather information on President Volodymyr Zelensky’s planned trip to Mykolaiv last week, part of an apparent assassination plot, the Secret Service of Ukraine announced Monday. The informant, a Ukrainian woman, is currently in custody and is being questioned. Ukrainian officials said they “apprehended the traitor ‘red-handed’ when she was trying to pass intelligence” to Russian officials. They added that they learned about the informant’s intentions in advance and took additional security measures ahead of Zelensky’s trip to the Mykolaiv region.
