KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian security officials said Wednesday that they had arrested a Ukrainian woman “red-handed” on suspicion of helping Russian intelligence services, including preparations for an assassination attempt on President Volodymyr Zelensky last month.
“The security service detained an informant of the special services of the Russian Federation, who, on the eve of the recent working trip of the president of Ukraine to the Mykolaiv region, was gathering intelligence about the planned visit,” Ukraine’s State Security Service, the SBU, said in a statement posted on its website.
“The perpetrator tried to establish the time and list of locations of the approximate route of the head of state in the territory of the region,” the statement said.
Zelensky visited the southern Ukrainian regions of Odessa and Mykolaiv at the end of July. The statement said the suspected Russian informant was “a former saleswoman in a military store on the territory of one of the military units” in the town of Ochakiv, which Zelensky visited.
A Ukrainian government official speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information said that the woman, who was not identified, was detained on Aug. 1.
My god. What are y’all going to do with all of these traitors?
Israel apparently told russia last year NOT to attempt to assassinate zelensky or all deals with russia are off . Wonder now how will they respond
Well…the problem is they are many, and they need bullets on front line.
Treason is treason. I am sure there is a law on the books in Ukraine.
“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 a second.”
