As Zelensky noted, the first case of an attempt by a group of enemy saboteurs to liquidate him “was very interesting,” and the president was already able to adapt to other attempts.
“People don’t know what to do about it, and it looks very scary, like COVID. And then it’s just intelligence that says another group has arrived in Ukraine to try to carry out an assassination attempt,” he explained.
Attempts to eliminate Zelensky
The publication indicates that special detachments of the Russian military landed in Kyiv with the aim of eliminating Zelensky on the first day of the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February last year. Then the President’s security blocked his Office with improvised barricades, and also used pieces of plywood. The closest aides to the head of state were given body armor and weapons.
When officials from the United States and Great Britain offered Zelensky to take him out of the Ukrainian capital, Zelensky responded to such an initiative with the phrase “I need ammunition, not a taxi.”
The material also states that while repelling attempts by Russian invaders to break into Kiev, Zelensky went outside the territory of the Office to record a video and show that the country’s leadership remained in the capital.
Now the president notes that the Russian Federation still “really wants” to overthrow him from power.
At least a dozen assassination attempts
According to one of Zelensky’s aides, during the first few weeks of the large-scale war, at least ten attempts were made on his life.
According to The Sun, in August 2023, Ukrainian special services also spoke about preventing a conspiracy of opponents to eliminate Zelensky – then the occupiers intended to launch an airstrike on Nikolaev during the president’s trip to this city.
