A terrorist attack may be staged to neutralize Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Axar.az reports the statement came from the former head of the Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service, General Mykola Malomuj.

"Is there a possibility of an assassination attempt on the Russian president in the future?" I think there is because most of Putin's entourage understands that he has gone too far and that there is no prospect here. "The leadership of the Federal Security Service and the National Security and Defense Council are involved in the war in Ukraine, in fact, they are committing war crimes and will be held accountable along with the Russian leader."
