Ukrainian counter-intelligence has scuppered a possible attempt on the life of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy according to local media reports.
News agency UNIAN reported that a man belonging to group of Russian saboteurs was arrested in Uzhhorod, a city in the far west of the country.
The group of up to 25 men planned on pretending to be members of the Ukrainian armed forces in a bid to make their way towards Kyiv. The report states that the group was also planning on carrying out acts of sabotage.
Ukraine's government has claimed that Russia has sent a number of assassination squads to kill Zelenskyy.
