Ukraine Thwarts Multiple Assassination Attempts Against Zelenskyy with Polish Security Aid

News summary

Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) thwarted an assassination attempt against President Volodymyr Zelenskyy while he was traveling in Poland, involving a retired Polish military pensioner allegedly recruited by Russia decades ago. The plot, foiled with the assistance of Poland's Internal Security Agency, considered multiple methods including an FPV drone and sniper attack at Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport. Additionally, SBU detained colonels within Ukraine's Administration of State Guard who were accused of working for Russia's FSB and planning a separate assassination attempt on Zelenskyy within Ukraine. SBU head Vasyl Malyuk emphasized that efforts to prevent such plots have been ongoing for nearly two years and acknowledged the professional cooperation with Polish counterparts. The detained individuals, including high-ranking officials, were linked to the Russian FSB's 5th Service, which suffered leadership changes following the failed plans. These events highlight persistent threats to Zelenskyy from Russian-aligned actors and the critical role of intelligence collaboration between Ukraine and Poland in countering these dangers.
