who had first been recruited by the Soviet Union decades ago, the head of the country's internal security agency said.
Lieutenant General Vasyl Malyuk, head of Ukraine's SBU, the main internal security agency of the Ukrainian government, detailed the alleged plot in a closed briefing with Ukrainian media.
Malyuk said the Polish man was activated by Russia with a plan to take out Zelensky at Poland's Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport using either a first-person view drone or a sniper rifle, TSN reported.
The would-be assassin was a firm believer in Soviet ideology, RBC reported, and maintained his beliefs for years. But the plot was foiled by a joint effort between the SBU and the Polish internal security service (ABW).
