10 Arrested Over Alleged Russian Plot to Kill Top Ukrainian Officials

A joint investigation between Ukrainian and Moldovan law enforcement has revealed a suspected plot to assassinate senior officials in Ukraine, including President Volodymyr Zelensky. The operation led to the arrest of 10 individuals across both countries, with searches and confiscations uncovering evidence of their planned actions.

The Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko highlighted that the group was preparing contract killings targeting prominent figures, potentially involving significant financial rewards from Moscow. This latest development adds to ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine following the invasion four years ago.
