Zelenskyy’s 2022 Assassination Attempts: Foreign Protection & Survival in Kyiv
In a recent interview with The Guardian, President Zelensky revealed that assassination attempts against him occurred at the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, resulting in casualties within the Presidential Office. These attempts, along with others reported throughout the war, coincided with Russia’s pressure for Ukraine to accept unfavorable peace terms. Zelensky also highlighted Russia’s significant numerical military advantage over both Ukraine and Europe, warning that without Ukraine’s resistance, a full-scale Russian occupation of Europe is a real possibility. He cited intelligence indicating Russia’s plans to further expand its forces and potentially launch attacks beyond Ukraine’s borders.
