Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky survived at least three assassination attempts in the past week, London’s The Times reports.
The newspaper says mercenaries from the Wagner Group, a security company under the control of Yevgeny Prigozhin, a key ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Chechen special forces were sent to kill Zelensky.
The report claims Ukraine was tipped off about the plans by anti-war members of Russia’s Federal Security Service.
