An elite Chechen fighting unit sent to Ukraine on a mission to kill President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been stopped, it has been reported.
The Mirror reports 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.
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.
