Moscow 'foiled' multiple Ukraine assassination plots
The Independent
|December 27, 2024
Russia has claimed it has foiled several Ukrainian plots to assassinate senior officers and their families using bombs disguised as power banks or document folders.
The country’s Federal Security Service said it had arrested four Russians accused of helping plan the attack, just weeks after a high-ranking officer was killed outside his Moscow apartment by a bomb attached to an electric scooter.
Ukraine’s SBU intelligence service confirmed they were behind the attack on 17 December that killed Lieutenant General Kirillov, chief of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops.
“The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation has prevented a series of assassination attempts on high-ranking military personnel of the Defence Ministry,” the FSB said yesterday.
Ukraine’s SBU did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
