Two ‘Death Squads’ Fail Attempted Assassinations of Ukraine President Zelenskyy
Last week in a televised address Zelenskyy said he believed Russian forces “designated” him as their “Number 1 target.” It appears as though he was correct.
Reportedly a team of elite Chechen commandos sent into Ukraine to “hunt down and assassinate President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was ‘eliminated’ by security forces, a top Kyiv defense official told national media” as reported by Fox News.
A translation of Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council Oleksiy Danilov talking to Ukraine 24 TV channel indicates that defense forces countered two “death squads “sent after Zelenskyy Tuesday.
He said Ukrainian forces got intelligence about a planned attack on Zelenskyy and destroyed an elite Chechen unit. “The special operation that was to be carried out directly by the Kadyrovites to eliminate our president is fully known to us today, and I can say that we received information from representatives of the FSB, who today have no desire to take part in this bloody war,” he said.
Fox News reports:
Ramzan Kadyrov is the leader of the Chechen Republic, which is a semiautonomous part of Russia. He is an ally of Vladimir Putin, and his commandos are considered fierce, highly skilled fighters. The FSB is in reference to Russia’s Federal Security Service.
Fox News Digital reported Monday that Putin’s move to send Chechen fighters to join the invasion may have backfired as the Ukrainian military outperformed Russian expectations.
The Chechens are part of a Russian national guard unit and are well known for fighting insurgencies, using brutal tactics that even jolted Russia during its two brutal wars in the ’90s against them. The Chechens have been employed to hunt down terrorists in Syria and used by Russia to fight elsewhere, including in Georgia. They also fought the Ukrainians in Donbas when hostilities began there in 2014.
Putin has said in recent years that Finland is considered friendly so long as they do not join NATO. Finland’s President Sauli Niinistö confirmed Sunday he has applied for NATO membership.
MetroUK tweeted chilling video and reported the following:
Russia has started moving nuclear-capable missiles towards its border with Finland hours after Moscow vowed not to tolerate Helsinki’s plans to join Nato.
The Kremlin issued a chilling warning that plans for both Finland and Sweden to sign up to the Atlantic alliance were a ‘grave mistake with far reaching consequences’.
Russian deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, said: ‘They should have no illusions that we will simply put up with it,’ and insisted ‘the general level of military tension will rise’.

The video was reportedly taken on a road leading to Vyborg, around 24 miles from the Finnish border, showing the deployment of mobile Iskander missiles.
“Seven launchers are thought to be en route according to commentary on a dash cam video broadcast by Russian media.”
A person on the video can be heard saying: ‘As soon as the president of Finland said they were joining Nato, a whole division of Iskanders, seven of them is moving towards Vyborg.
‘Looks like a new military unit is about to be formed in Vyborg or the region.’

The patriotism and bravery of the Ukrainian people is something to behold. They love their country and are willing to fight for it at all cost. They put the left-wing, crybaby cowardly liberals, the feckless clown senile little girl fondling Joe Biden and the ignorant, incompetent Commie-la toes-up Harris,AOC and her America hating squad, and all the Democrats to shame. They would all hide crying under their desk and surrender if that happened here.

Collect their bodies, stuff their mouths with Pork and sew them shut. Then send them back to Chechnya in pig skin bags. Thats all they understand.

I am not convinced about these “attempts”. Russia has nothing to gain in the Ukraines Presidents assassination, but much to lose in world opinion.
These are crazy times. Stories fly like bullets in the air on all sides.
Keep a sense of reality in these days as to what is true or false. Reagan said “trust, but verify”…let’s verify first.

They should send a hit squad to Russia, then all of this would end

Looks to me that MSM is at their “hype” stories once again. OK MSM, where is the proof, who is the source, where and when the TWO failed attempts take place? Yep, MSM is still the enemy of the people.
