Vasyl Malyuk who was the head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in June 2025 said the planned assassination on President Zelensky was planned in Poland.
Several years ago the Polish man was recruited by Russia and it is said he “sincerely believed” in wanting the Soviet Union bought back again, hence why he was recruited by Moscow.
In June 2025 President Zelensky survived an assassination attempt at a Polish airport, and Malyuk at the time revealed this was conducted by a “sleeper agent.”
Malyuk said that a retired military officer who was recruited by Moscow “decades ago” who was activated recently.
The Russian agent planned to assassinate President Zelensky at Rzeszów Airport using a FPV drone or a “sniper complex.”
The head of Ukraine’s Security Service said the assassination attempt was foiled in a joint operation between Kyiv and authorities in Poland.
Malyuk said at the time, “All of this was implemented, we detained him. Polish colleagues worked professionally, it was our joint work with them.”
He added, “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the ABW of Poland (Internal Security Agency).
“This is the analogue of the SBU in Poland, the so-called internal special service. We implemented an important criminal proceeding together with them. A military pensioner, a Pole, who was recruited decades ago, firmly believed in the Soviet idea and harboured his intention through the years.”
