Putin Survived Assassination Attempt Two Months Ago, Ukraine Official Says

[FM123]

(Newsweek) Russian President Vladimir Putin survived an assassination attempt two months ago, just after he announced the invasion of Ukraine, the country's chief spy has claimed.

Ukraine's Chief of Defence Intelligence Kyrylo Budanov claimed Putin was attacked in an "unsuccessful attempt" to kill him around two months ago, when he was in the Caucasus, an area comprising Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and parts of Southern Russia.

"Putin was assassinated...," Budanov told Ukrainian Pravda. "He was even attacked in the line of, as they say, representatives of the Caucasus not so long ago," he added. "This is non-public information. Absolutely unsuccessful attempt, but it really took place...It was about two months ago."

"Once again, he was unsuccessful. There is no publicity about this event, but it took place," Budanov said.

I'm not comparing Thatcher with Putin by the way.
