Hello dear read cashers,

Today was really stressful as I had to do multiple tasks almost at the same time. I had wanted to upload an article since morning but I couldn't because of what I was doing.

Not to take too much of our time, following the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian military, there has been various development around this invasion ranging from destruction of one of Russia's most advanced weapon, demoralization of the Russian soldiers to the plot to kill Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia.

Here is the full gist;

Ukraine has claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin already survived an assassination attempt at the start of the war in February, and now fresh claims have emerged that further attempts could be imminent. Ukraine’s Chief of Defence Intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, said this week that Putin was almost killed two months ago. He told Ukrainian Pravda: “Putin was [almost] assassinated…He was even attacked in the line of, as they say, representatives of the Caucasus not so long ago. “This is non-public information. Absolutely unsuccessful attempt, but it really took place… It was about two months ago.”

“Once again, he was unsuccessful. There is no publicity about this event, but it took place. “

And in March, it emerged that ongoing threat’s to the president’s life were increasing.

The Ukrainian intelligence body said a “group of influential” members of the “Russian elite” were planning to poison Putin.

The plan involved removing Putin from power in order to install a new leader and mend ties with the West, it was claimed.

According to the intelligence brief, the Kremlin figures were furious at the impact the war and subsequent sanctions have had on the Russian economy.

In fact, Kyiv even claimed that a new leader – Alexander Bortnikov – has already been lined up.

Mr Bortnikov is the director of the Russian security services (FSB).

Mr Budanov said: “It is known that Bortnikov and some other influential representatives of the Russian elite are considering various options to remove Putin from power.

“In particular, poisoning, sudden disease, or any other ‘coincidence’ is not excluded.”

While criticism of the Russian government is difficult due to Putin’s authoritarian rule, some voices have spoken against the Kremlin line since the invasion began.

Oleg Tinkov is one of Russia’s best-known entrepreneurs and one of the most high profile Russians to publicly call out the actions of Mr Putin.

He posted on social media that 90 percent of Russians were against the war in Ukraine and added “morons in any country are 10 percent”.

Mr Tinkov continued: “I don’t see a SINGLE beneficiary of this insane war! Innocent people and soldiers are dying.

“Waking up with a hangover, the generals realised that they have a shit army.

“And how will the army be good, if everything else in the country is sh*tty and mired in nepotism, sycophancy and servility?

“Kremlin officials are shocked that neither they or their children will be off to the Mediterranean in the summer. Businessmen are trying to save the rest of their property.”

Another oligarch, Mikhail Fridman, broke ranks with the Kremlin and called for an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine in March.

Mr Fridman said: “My parents are Ukrainian citizens and live in Lviv, my favourite city. But I have also spent much of my life as a citizen of Russia, building and growing businesses.

“I am deeply attached to Ukrainian and Russian peoples and see the current conflict as a tragedy for them both.

“This crisis will cost lives and damage two nations who have been brothers for hundreds of years. While a solution seems frighteningly far off, I can only join those whose fervent desire is for the bloodshed to end.”

Mikhail Khodarenok, a retired Russian military colonel and analyst, appeared on Russian-state TV last week and suggested that “the situation [for Russia] will clearly get worse”.

British and Ukrainian security 'stopped Putin assassins' as leader had 5 failed attempts

Russian leader President Vladimir Putin has survived no fewer than five assassination attempts over the past few years, and is now escorted everywhere he goes by a team of crack snipers ready to take out any assailants.

According to Ukraine ’s Chief of Defence Intelligence Kyrylo Budanov, Putin was the target of an “unsuccessful” assassination attempt about two months ago, at the very start of the war on Ukraine.

But – according to reports – this is just the latest in a long line of attempts on the tyrant’s life, leading to an increasingly paranoid Putin employing body doubles and food tasters – even having his swimming pool water regularly tested to make sure that no poisonous chemicals have been added to the mix.

A source close to the Russian security services said: “His close protection team make sure his food is checked, no one gets close to him without their ­approval. But the former chiefs of staff, generals and FSB operators will know the weak spots in the system.

“I would not be at all surprised if we hear in the next few months that Putin has died and the reason given will be a heart attack or a long-term illness. I doubt they will admit it was an ­internal coup”.

The first known attempt made on Putin’s life was made while the president was attending the funeral of Anatoly Sobchak in St. Petersburg, in February, 2000, Pravda reports. Sergei Devyatov, a press secretary for the Federal Guard Service, said that “not a psychopath but a certain organisation was behind the attempt.”

There were at least two attempts on Putin’s life in 2002.

One attempt took place during Putin’s official visit to Azerbaijan, when Iraqi citizen Kyanan Rostam tried to plant a bomb.

Azeri security services foiled Rostam’s attempt, according to a statement by Namik Abbasov, head of the Azeri National Security Ministry,

A month later, a man named Ivan Zaitsev arrived at the Kremlin, claiming to be the President of Russia and announced that he was there “to cut Putin’s head off” to prevent Russia falling under control of the Nazis. He was detained and incarcerated in a mental institution.

According to Alexander Litvinenko, the former officer of the Russian Federal Security Service who was later killed on Putin’s orders, an attempt on the Russian leader’s life was foiled by Scotland Yard.

The ringleader of the attempt, named by Litvinenko as “Major P”, told him of a plan to ambush Putin on a foreign trip and get Chechen fighters to “pop up somewhere on Putin’s route with sniper rifles”.

Litvinenko, suspected that the alleged assassination was a “sting” set up by the FSB to incriminate him. So he reported the conversation to the Metropolitan. Police, who arrested the major and another Russian. They were later released on condition that they return to Moscow.

But a more serious attempt, again with British links, was revealed in 2012.

Russia’s state-run Channel One television broadcast footage of two men who it accused of belonging to a terror group formed by Chechen warlord Doku Umarov.

One of the accused men, Ilya Pyanzin, confessed: “They told us that first you come to Odessa to learn how to make bombs. And then later, in Moscow, you will stage attacks against commercial objects, with the subsequent assassination attempt against Putin”.

The second suspect was named as Adam Osmayev, an international fugitive who had been living in London for some time. Osmayev reportedly had surveillance footage of Putin that was being used to plan a bomb attack.

Ironically, he was arrested by Ukrainian special services anti-terrorist unit Alfa after an accidental explosion in an alleged Chechen bomb factory in 2012.
