On Monday, the special services of Ukraine announced the arrest Russian agents that they were planning to assassinate the Minister of Defense and the Chief of Army Intelligence.

The Ukrainian SBU “detained killers from among the Russian special services who planned to kill” Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov and head of military intelligence Kirill Budanov, the service said in a Telegram message.

The Telegram message was accompanied by a video showing armed men in Ukraine cut and handcuffs two men in civilian clothes They were approaching the car.

The arrest took place in Kovel, in northwestern Ukraine. According to the SBU, one of the alleged killers entered the country through Belarus.

They also stated that in addition to the “physical liquidation” of two high-ranking officials, as well as an anonymous “Ukrainian activist”, the detainees were preparing. According to this source, they would have been rewarded with an amount of money between $100,000 and $150,000.

The Pentagon estimates that since the invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, Russia has lost between 70,000 and 80,000 people, including those killed and wounded. And this is after six months of confrontation.

Kahl did not elaborate on the number of casualties Ukrainian forces have suffered since the start of the conflict with the Russians.
