A crack squad of Russian fighters sent into Ukraine with the mission to kill President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been stopped. The elite Chechen unit has reportedly been defeated according to a leading Ukrainian politician.
Oleksiy Danilov, Kyiv's Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council, said the unit "which came to kill our President, was eliminated", during a televised address, reports the Mirror. The team was sent into the fellow former Soviet nation by Ramzan Kadyrov, leader of Russia’s Chechnya region and an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaking on Ukraine 24 TV channel, Danilov said: "We are already aware of the special operation that was to be carried out by Kadyrov forces unit. We received the information from representatives of Russia’s Federal Security Service who do not want to take part in this bloody war. The Kadyrov forces unit, which came to kill our President, was eliminated."
