There was an assassination attempt on Russian President Vladimir Putin immediately after the outbreak of war in Ukraine. This was stated by Kiril Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense Kiril Budanov.
“There were attempts to assassinate Putin… there were even attempts to assassinate him not so long ago, as they say, by representatives of the Caucasus. This is not public information. Completely unsuccessful murder attempt, but it really happened… it was about 2 months ago. I say once again that it was a failure. There is no publicity for this event, but there was one, “Budanov said, Maritsa reports.
Meanwhile, the Russian president met in Sochi with his Belarusian counterpart, Alexander Lukashenko. Putin said his country’s economy was able to withstand sanctions and that ruble trade with foreign partners would strengthen Russia’s currency.
“The transition in trade with our partners in the national currency, in rubles, is obviously taking place. You also said that this should happen. Objectively, the situation developed so that we did it. Not to the detriment of our partners, I want to emphasize this, fulfilling all our obligations. This contributes to the strengthening of the ruble, “Putin said.
