The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Monday that it had thwarted an assassination attempt on Sergey Aksyonov, the head of the Republic of Crimea, organized by the Ukrainian special services.
"An assassination attempt on the head of the Republic of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, organized by the Ukrainian special services, has been thwarted ... A citizen of Russia, born in 1988, who was recruited by the Ukrainian Security Service and took a course in reconnaissance and subversive activities on the territory of Ukraine, including training in mine blasting, was detained," the FSB said in a statement.
The would-be-assassin planned to blow up the politician’s car. He was apprehended by FSB after being caught red-handed while removing the stashed-away bomb.
Law enforcement officials have opened a criminal case against the perpetrator on bomb possession and terrorism charges.
Crimea and Sevastopol became Russian regions after a referendum held on 16 March 2014, when 97 percent of those who participated in the vote supported reunification.
On 18 March 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Crimean head Sergey Aksyonov and other officials signed a treaty on the accession of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol to Russia. Under the treaty, all the residents of Crimea are recognised as citizens of Russia unless they signed an application stating that they wished to retain Ukrainian citizenship.
Watch Russian Tank Unleash Hell Upon Ukrainian Stronghold
Even as NATO-supplied Western military hardware to the Zelensky regime goes up in smoke, failing to become a game changer in the ongoing Ukrainian conflict, the Kiev regime's forces continue to learn the hard way just how deadly and efficient the weaponry wielded by the Russian forces can be.
In one instance, Russian tanks managed to swiftly wipe out a Ukrainian strongpoint by utilizing different types of ammunition such as guided, high-explosive and fragmentation shells to inflict maximum damage on enemy personnel and hardware.
A short video shared online by the Russian Ministry of Defense shows how such engagements take place.
