Report: Putin assassination plot foiled

According to a report published by Russia’s state-run Channel One on Monday, terrorists detained in the Ukrainian city of Odessa, located 487 kilometers (296 miles) south of the capital Kiev, have confessed to their plan for murdering Putin in an attack that was supposed to be carried out in the Russian capital Moscow right after the March 4 presidential election.

One of the detainees, who were already on an international wanted list, has revealed that they had flown into Ukraine from the United Arab Emirates via Turkey.

The group of criminals reportedly received all the instruction from the senior leader and operational commander of the North Caucasus-based Caucasus Emirate (CE) group, Doku Umarov.

Meanwhile, Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the Russian prime minister, has confirmed the report.

“I confirm the information, but make no comment on it,” Peskov said.
