The spy in the shop
Ukraine’s spy agency revealed that a local woman has been arrested for allegedly gathering information for a Russian assassination attempt on President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky makes frequent trips to the war’s frontlines but doesn’t announce his plans in advance due to safety concerns, and this woman, a former shop assistant, was tasked with learning Zelensky’s movements when he visited the southern Mykolaiv region. That’s according to Ukraine’s State Security Service… If convicted of working for Russia, the woman could be imprisoned for 12 years. Meanwhile, world leaders have had their heads down in Saudi Arabia on a peace plan to end Russia’s invasion. Russian reps weren’t invited, but Kremlin allies from China did attend the talks, which all sides (except Russia) are touting as a major diplomatic victory.
