“The SBU and the OGP together with law enforcement officers of Poland exposed a Russian agent who offered the special services of the Russian Federation to assassinate the President of Ukraine 18:00, April 18, 2024
* International Partnership
* Russian Federation’s aggression
* State security
* We defend Ukraine together!
As a result of close cooperation between the Security Service, the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine and the law enforcement agencies of Poland, a Polish citizen who cooperated with the military intelligence of the Russian Federation (better known as the game) was detained.

According to the investigation, the defendant’s plan was to collect and transfer information about the safety of Rzeszow-Yasyonka airport to the aggressor country. This, among other things, would help Russian special services plan a possible assassination of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his stay on the territory of Poland.

SBU officers and Ukrainian prosecutors informed Polish colleagues about a possible assassination attempt and handed them key evidence in this case. This happened as part of the provision of international legal assistance.

Thanks to successful actions and operational exchange of information between the countries, it was possible to identify and detain the recruited agent of special services of the Russian Federation in the territory of Poland.

The Polish prosecutor’s office accused him of being ready to act in favor of a foreign special service qualified under Art. 130 § 3 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Poland.

On April 18, 2024, at the request of the Polish Prosecutor’s Office, the District Court of Warsaw applied a preventive measure against the attacker in the form of detention.

The investigation is conducted by the Internal Security Agency under the supervision of the National Prosecutor’s Office of Poland. Investigative actions continue.

The SBU is grateful to partners for effective cooperation in countering Russian crimes in Ukraine and abroad”.
