The head of Ukraine's security services (SBU) today revealed more details about a plot to assassinate Volodymyr Zelensky at an airport in Poland.
SBU chief Vasyl Malyuk told reporters at a press conference in Kyiv that a Polish military veteran named Pawel K. was working with Russia's military intelligence services on a plot to murder Zelensky at Rzeszow Airport last year.
Polish prosecutors previously said the man, now a pensioner, was arrested in April 2024 based on tip-offs from Ukrainian intelligence that he had been recruited by Russia.
He had reportedly planned to pass information about airport security to his Russian handlers.
But Malyuk today gave more information about the case, claiming the Pole had been 'activated' by Russia's intelligence agencies and was set to take a shot at Zelensky with a sniper rifle.
