Suspect charged with plotting to assassinate Zelensky

Polish prosecutors have formally charged a man with helping Russian intelligence services plot an assassination attempt on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

It is reported that the man, known as Pavel K., was arrested in April 2024 as a result of a joint operation by Polish and Ukrainian special services. He could currently be sentenced to up to 8 years in prison.

According to the investigation documents, Pavel K. expressed his willingness to cooperate with Russian military intelligence. At the request of the Russians, he collected information about the security system of the Rzeszow-Jaszków airport in southeastern Poland. Polish officials claim that this information could have been used to assassinate Zelensky.

Recall that on May 12, six Bulgarian citizens accused of spying for Russia were sentenced in London.
