Russia's Exquisitely Professionally Finessed Plots

"We are well aware of the special operation that was to take place directly by the Kadyrovites to eliminate our president. And I can say that we have received information from the FSB, who today do not want to take part in this bloody war."
"And thanks to this, the 'Kadyrov' elite group was destroyed, which came here to eliminate our president."
"[The Kadyrovites were two groups; one was] destroyed [tracked down in Hostomel near the airport]. Another group is now, so to speak, under fire."
Oleksiy Danilov, secretary, National Security and Defense Council, Kyiv

"They want to destroy Ukraine politically by destroying the head of state."
"Ukraine is the heart of Europe, and now I think Europe sees Ukraine is something special for this world."
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky

It certainly isn't hard to believe that a special hard-core, battle-hardened Islamist unit out of Chechnya was ordered to assassinate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. It does strain credulity, however, to ask the world to believe that the FSB, Russia's special security enforcement and intelligence unit, of which Russian President Vladimir Putin was once an agent when it was still the feared KGB would alert an 'enemy' of an impending attack against the main target of the Kremlin.

The plot, however, was foiled, with the Chechens dispatched on orders from Russia, 'destroyed', according to the Ukrainian security leader. It is entirely possible that this story, broadcast widely on Ukrainian TV, was meant to shore up the morale of the general population of Ukraine, now under bombardment all over the country by widespread Russian troops. The Chechen Special Forces elite Kadyrovites met an unfortunate end, thanks to the alert from Russia's own intelligence agency.

Russia's Federal Security Service responsible for Ukrainian Intelligence capturing the would-be assassins on the outskirts of Kyiv. There are so many events occurring in this region of late that challenge reason and intelligence, why not another? Chechen leader Ramsan Kadyrov confirmed two servicemen died, while six others were injured, but no word regarding their mission.

Ukraine's President Zelensky for the time being spends some time in a bunker while his city is encircled by a huge number of war machinery and Russian troops. When he's not out in plain view in the streets encouraging Ukrainian civilians to take up arms and defend their city, and producing videos declaring that Ukraine will prevail, its population will not surrender, much less its military to the genocidal-cultural-political machinations of an irredentist Putin.

"The task of the Chechens was defined as the cleansing of Kyiv, the physical liquidation and preventive work with Ukrainian leaders", wrote Ukrainian newspaper Ukrayinska Pravda, which explained that Putin had instructed Kadyrov, the Chechen leader, to carry out the plot.
