Assassination attempt on Putin: In Kyiv they started talking about failed attempts to assassinate the President of the Russian Federation

Attempts by the Ukrainian special services to organize an assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin were confirmed several times by the head of Ukrainian military intelligence, Kirill Budanov. These statements raise many questions about the current political tensions between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the potential consequences.

Assassination attempts: details and reasons

Kirill Budanov, included in the list of extremists and terrorists in Russia, confirmed that Ukrainian special services tried several times to organize an assassination attempt on Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, all these attempts were unsuccessful. According to Budanov, Putin plays a role for Russians similar to Stalin for the Soviet people. His death could lead to the beginning of internal political processes that Ukraine plans to take advantage of.

There is an opinion that Putin, who has been in power for more than 20 years, has become a symbol of stability for many Russians. The loss of this symbol could cause fear and uncertainty among the population. Budanov emphasizes that assassination attempts took place, but so far they have not been successful.

Kremlin response and security

The Kremlin did not remain indifferent to Budanov’s statements. The press secretary of the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, said that the threats from the Kyiv regime are quite obvious, and special attention is paid to the issue of protecting Vladimir Putin. Peskov noted that the Russian leader’s security is ensured at the “proper level,” although he did not confirm specific facts of assassination attempts.

These statements emphasize the importance of protecting top officials of the state in conditions of high political tension. The Kremlin clearly recognizes the reality of the threat and is taking all necessary measures to protect the president.

US role in the alleged assassinations

Maria Zakharova, official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that the assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin was being prepared with US money. In her Telegram channel, she noted that without the financial support of the United States, there would be no harmful activities of the GUR and the SBU.

“Yesterday, one of the leaders of the Kyiv regime, Budanov, openly admitted that Ukrainian intelligence was preparing attempts on the life of the Russian President. So this attempt was being prepared, again, with American money, without which there would have been no malicious activities of the GUR, the SBU and Bankova as a whole,” she noted. Zakharova.

Consequences and possible scenarios

Attempts on Putin's life, even if they were unsuccessful, indicate a high degree of tension. For obvious reasons, any such attempt will entail an extremely difficult response from Russia, and not only for Kyiv, but also for its allies.
