Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has taken decisive action following the recent revelation of an alleged assassination plot against him. Zelensky has dismissed the head of the State Guard Service (UDO), Serhii Rud, as reported in a decree published on the presidential website. The reasons for Rud's dismissal have not been officially disclosed.
Rud, who was appointed as Zelensky's top bodyguard in October 2019, has been replaced by an as-yet-unannounced successor. The UDO is responsible for safeguarding the security of Ukraine's president, senior state officials, and administrative buildings.
