- Ukraine says it thwarted a Russian plot to kidnap and assassinate Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Ukraine's security service released a message including claims to have uncovered a Russian plot to kidnap and kill President Zelenskyy and other senior military and political figures. Two officers in Ukraine's government protection unit have reportedly been arrested on suspicion of carrying out the plan, which was allegedly orchestrated by Russian intelligence agents. These aren't the first Ukrainian claims of Russian assassination plots, as the war stretches into a third year. Zelenskyy said that in 2022 alone there had been at least 10 attempts to take his life.

#Zelenskyy #assassination #Russia
That probably wasn’t too wise. One should not consider assassinating the leader of another nation unless there is no exposure to like-kind retaliation.
TAIWANESE Lives Matter 🇹🇼💯
not if he'll illegitimate president under international law on May 20th research it
Wasn't it one of Ukrainian goals since the beginning, marking Putin as a prime target?
There's an unspoken rule not to try to assassinate enemy leader while the war is yet to over but like does anyone really cares about it?
What is strange is that Zelensky's movement are likely to be monitored by Russia, given that he isn't hiding this much and has visited the frontline a few times. It shouldn't be all that hard to attempt to take his life there.
Plus, even if there's really a coup that ends Zelensky's life - it would be still blamed on Russia no matter if there's a connection or no connections.
You really believe this mate it’s like standing in a cow pat field
@@marksimpson6387 Typical post-truth troll response. See how "Mark Simpson tries to make people uncomfortable about believing something without offering an actual refutation, getting them to respond on an emotional rather than a rational level.
Very true
Russian trolls have become so obvious these days.
Yes. They are desperately trying to do damage control.
Speaking truth about Israel war you are hamas Speaking truth about Ukraine you are putin supporters the truth is the truth.
It’s the French and Germans that did this. They are not going to fight Biden’s war.
Stay strong, Ukraine. Never surrender to Russia.
So what is alternative? NO Ukraine any longer!?
@@claus-not-santayou can't wipe out a whole nation - cry harder
@@Rod732 Why should I cry?
Just wait and see and face reality!!
Russia should just withdraw their troops from Ukraine and end this pointless war.
NATO started this war. Are you sane?
I never see fighting pointless war , the only one pointless war they was WW1 and Afghanistan but they withdraw in good condition unlike Iraq, Lybia, Afghanistan or Syria
NATO rejected since 2014 the Minsk negotiations proposed by Putin, Donbass and Luhansk Russians lost already there lives about 14000 people speaking Russians.
@@DK-ev9dg I know that that's what you've been told, to justify this pointless war. But NATO was almost dead when this war started, and the war revitalized it. Putin keeps throwing around for pretexts, but the truth is he wants to conquer other lands for his own ego, and he doesn't care how many Russians he kills in meat-wave attacks to do it.
@@DK-ev9dgPutin started this war!!!!!!
How about going after Putin?
Putin lives in constant fear of assassinations and goes to ridiculous extremes to protect himself. Frankly, it's easier to target somebody who's not a coward.
A lot times putin nayle got assassinated never work
Funny, people saying Zelensky should die for the war to end. But realistically, if Putin actually dies this war could end.
This is a mad man, Ukraine success
Begging is not working so now need to create such a scenario
so true
US shipments are on their way, as well as shipments from other countries. In the meantime the Ukrainians have done more with almost nothing than most people thought possible, while Russia can't even keep her own citizens warm through the winter without aggression. (How come your government didn't even bother creating warming stations for citizens without power the way Zelenskyy's administration did for Ukrainians when you folks bombed their infrastructure the year before? Gee, could it be that Putin DOESN'T CARE about your well-being?)
Definitely true , it also his own people want get rid of zelensky but there blame on Russia
@@danielbailey5849 I don't know any Ukrainians who want rid of Zelenskyy. You're trying to deceive those who live in a bubble and don't actually make friends in other countries on the Internet. Give it up!

If putin dies, this war could very well actually end as Russian politicians now has an out. They could all blame their misfortune and failures on putin
If Zelensky dies, other prominent figure would take his place since support of the war is generally supported by the Ukr people.

The truth hurts.
They are all right thinking people. No Russian here.
Anyone who don't agree with you a bots? There is plenty of bots even inside your family then....
In 1944 German officers tried to save Germany and kill Furher. Same happening in Ukraine now. People will remember these soldiers as brave heroes who wanted to save Ukraine from mad minifurher Zelensky.
The only mini-fuhrer is putin of Russia. Zelensky is a great leader beloved by his country.
The only fascist-like leader resides in Kremlin though. Or wherever his bunkers are
It's only a matter of time...as insternal dissatisfaction also rises in Ukraine.
Zelenski is one brave man.Not a single person in the comments has his courage and would have left Ukraine to defend itself without a president on day one.
Yes, he is a brave man, unlike Putin who pooped his pants while fleeing Moscow when Prigozhin was heading there.
Give it up Mate. DW is propoganda and Z needs to give up. You lost.
keep coping, Ivan. 🤡🤡🤣🤣😂😂
The Urknazi regime trying to give the media something so they’ll stop reporting about their losses on the battlefield lol
Yeah, you are right DW is playing into the hands of the propagandist. The correct information is that it was his own officials who had planned to delete him for some reason. I don't know why Russia is being mentioned here..
Thank you for consistently delivering quality content.

Why would Russia attenpt to eliminate a clown and risk having someone competent take his place? It would be a strategic and logical disaster for Russia.

Sure. Every time a western leader visits Zelenskyy they have to get permission from Russia to do so.

@@DarxKies Putin will never visit his troups on the frontline. He is far too cowardish.
Yes "Russians can do anything but they just don't want nothing"😂
Because you say so, i guess. Ruskies would have killed Selensky long time ago - if they could!
If Russia wanted to get rid of Zelensky, it would have done so already. Zelensky should be more afraid of the West; he is quickly approaching his sell-by date.
Zelenskiy elected term ends in 2 weeks!
It would, if there were no war. But during the war, elections are postponed.
They are in war you bot. Putin 30 years in power the only one in history after Stalin!
Russia would just send Mr Sarmat, more likely some pissed off Ukrainians would want to take him out.

You also think that russia invading Ukraine is an sMo and not a full-fledged war. Right? 😂😂😂😂

@@jonathanjacob5453 There is a difference between attack and defense. Russia is pathetic
@@sequero2747 you might think it’s cool to play the victim, but let’s list the facts:
1. The democratically elected Ukrainian gouvernement was violently overthrown by US backed forces.
2. There are self proclaim nah seas at the highest levels of the Ukrainian government.
3. According to the UN Ukrainian civilians have been targeted with artillery. Western news media has reported on this for years.
4. The Ukrainian nah sea backed regime have instituted apartheid style laws turning there own citizens into second hand citizens.
You have enough recourses to find the truth, ignorance is not an excuse. If you are for any of this you are pathetic.
So Ukrainian way

So many Russian bots in the comment section
I'm in Europe and I defend Russia
Are you one of them?
You more like more bots than this so called Russian bots... As your comments worthless.
So a lot Ukraine bots here
This is not russian but ukranian plot. The comedian fate seems to be equal to the Mussolini's fate.
Another PR stunt? An attempt to distract is from what is really going on the battlefield? Ok good
Especially during the dictator's sham inauguration.
This is extremely dangerous from Ukrainian side.
Assasination is wrong but come on he shouldn't be the prez rn.
Why not? Unlike putler, Zelenskyj was elected by real citizens and represents the country extremely successfully.
Just review the welcome he received on his first American visit. His "I need weapons, not transportation" sentence has already made it into future history books.

😂😂😂 This Ukrainian dramatic government
Do you mean who people try get rid of zelensky aswell
Usually in a war the loosing side try’s to kill the leader, remember Prighozin tried killing Putin when he was loosing. Love Game of Thrones
😂😂😂
Who told you Prighozin tried killing Putin !!! Nobody. Prighozin was loyal to Putin it was Shogun he had a problem with. Should listen to what the actual person says at the time not what others write for msm just so they can keep their job.

Probably way higher than putler's if fair elections were even possible in russia.

Once the war is over, there will be elections. And a new president may be elected. Nothing unusual about that.
It's only in russia, where the "president" changes the constitution to keep ruling forever.

Why would Russia want to eliminate an incompetent clown puppet?
If he was incompetent, they wouldn't try to get rid of him.
To cut the strings on an expensive puppet of EU and NATO.
Show me anyone who would believe it....
his term is ending anyway sometime in may, right. right? or nato reelect him again
No he is considered democratic, he dont have to have elections anymore...
In DEMOCRATIC countries no elections are held in wartime. Simply because it is physically and practically impossible. But then, if like in russia the ballot boxes are stuffed beforehand, then it is possible.
There's no election during the war.
nope under international law he'll be illegitimate president and anyone who support him have no respect to it, which means worsen their standing in global south

Now if there would be a real plot on Z, my prime suspect would be Budanov actually, head of the SBU. He would profit the most out of it and has the most capable men in Z's close quarters. On the other hand it would be a mastermove from Putin, if he would do it, and could frame Budanov with it, starting a quarrel between the military and the intelligence service.
Keep dreaming. Maybe, you could write a sci fi book.
Sounds like he’s consolidating power among what’s left of the government.
And no one is trying to assassinate Putin
Also russia: we don't kill civilians... except in Syria, Georgia, and Ukraine, Chechnya...

N Russia will not fail
It has failed already. Its objective was to invade Kyiv in three days and the rest of the country in a week. Here we are, the war is in its third (or eleventh) year, depending how you view it. And russia is getting desperate, as more and more they realise they can never win this war. The whole civilised world has united in supporting Ukraine. Russia is loosing both the industrial base and soldiers. Prices are skyrocketing and some russians actually started to think.
@@231rosslynWhen have you been in Russia last time?
@@claus-not-santa What makes you think I would ever go to russia, one of the worst countries in the world?
Russia has already failed multiple times, over and over again. This war has already damaged Russia so much that it will take decades for them to recover.
@@231rosslyn So actually you know nothing about Russia!
How can you make such statements when you never have been there?
This is most likely Ukrainian disinfo. There is a struggle between Ukraine's top military brass and Zelensky and his cliche - the generals know what is likely to happen, if the comedian continues on his pathway to Ukraine's defeat and that the statehood itself is on the line.
Russia let Zelensky know that he had nothing to fear as long as he is president of Ukraine.
His term ends on May 20th.
Why would Russia assassinate the man helping them win. Russia would miss Zelensky the most when he leaves office 2 weeks.
