Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was the target of an assassination plot to be carried out by a Polish pensioner
who had first been recruited by the Soviet Union decades ago, the head of the country's internal security agency said.
Lieutenant General Vasyl Malyuk, head of Ukraine's SBU, the main internal security agency of the Ukrainian government, detailed the alleged plot in a closed briefing with Ukrainian media.
Malyuk said the Polish man was activated by Russia with a plan to take out Zelensky at Poland's Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport using either a first-person view drone or a sniper rifle, TSN reported.
The would-be assassin was a firm believer in Soviet ideology, RBC reported, and maintained his beliefs for years. But the plot was foiled by a joint effort between the SBU and the Polish internal security service (ABW).

They believe Iran is the enemy and Russia is our friend when the two countries have been working together for decades to destroy America . It's pure lunacy.
On another note, it's refreshing and makes my heart swell to witness the close cooperation of Ukraine's and Poland's security services. May the two countries remain close allies for centuries into the future, haunting Putin even after he has long been burning in hell.
