There been attempt by Chechen who don't like Vlady
Ukraine's military intelligence service chief Kyrylo Budanov says there have been several attempts to assassinate Russia's President Vladimir Putin.
"But as you can see, they were unsuccessful," Budanov told New Voice, a Ukrainian website.
The intelligence chief did not provide details or specify if his agents, or other Ukrainian agencies, might have been involved in the plots.
Budanov claimed that in May 2022, months after Putin ordered the launch of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, there was a failed assassination attempt by men from the Caucasus. There is no evidence of this.
The Ukrainian spy chief said Putin was no longer as popular among Russia's elite, but as he has been in power for more than 20 years, Russians are afraid of alternatives.
He said when Putin dies, the public response could be similar to the death of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin in 1953.
"Their whole world collapsed, they didn't know how to go on living," Budanov said.
