Ukrainian claims of Russian efforts to kill Zelenskyy aren't new.
FILE - Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gestures during a press conference in Kyiv, Ukraine, Wednesday, April 3, 2024. Ukrainian counterintelligence investigators have foiled a Russian plot to assassinate President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other top military and political figures, Ukraine's state security service said Tuesday.
It quoted the head of the State Security Service, Vasyl Maliuk, as saying the plot foresaw an attack before's inauguration for a fifth term on Tuesday. Maliuk said that he personally oversaw the top-secret operation to track the plot. Also, prosecutors in Poland said last month that a Polish man had been arrested on allegations of being ready to spy on behalf of Russia's military intelligence in an alleged plot to assassinate Zelenskyy.
Zelenskyy has proved to be a valuable asset for his country as the war against Ukraine's bigger neighbor grinds on, and as Kyiv's depleted forces wait for more troops and weapons. He has urged his people to keep fighting and instilled a belief that Ukraine can prevail.
