Close Call: Zelensky and Top Ukrainian Leaders Dodge Russian Assassination Plot

Ukrainian Security Service agents foiled a Russian plot to assassinate President Volodymyr Zelensky and other high-ranking political and military officials on Tuesday. SBU (the security agency) said it had arrested both colonels in the Department of State Security, which is responsible for the President’s protection.

SBU chairman Lieutenant General Vasyl Mlyuk, and high-profile military intelligence chief Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budaynov were also targeted. The Wall Street Journal reported that this operation was linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s inauguration, and I believe Thursday’s Victory Day celebration.

Alarming Data Sends Biden Administration Into a Tailspin

This poll showed Trump ahead by 10 points overall and 11 among women. It might be an outlier poll that we’d have to see, but if it was anywhere close to being true, it should be setting off big alarm bells to Biden.
