Putin addresses Red Square crowds after landslide win as West condemns 'undemocratic' election
Monday, 18 March 2024 Vladimir Putin has been cheered by large crowds in central Moscow after securing his fifth term as Russian president - in what Western nations have condemned as an "undemocratic" election.
Ukrainian intelligence agents have successfully thwarted a Russian plan to assassinate Volodymyr Zelensky. The SBU State Security Service of Ukraine revealed that they apprehended Russian agents embedded within the Ukrainian state guard service. These agents were allegedly plotting to kidnap and assassinate the president along with other high-ranking government officials. According to Vasyl Malyuk, the Head of the SBU, the failed assassination attempt was intended as a "gift" to Vladimir Putin just before his upcoming inauguration on Tuesday. The SBU stated that they arrested two suspected "moles" who they believe were recruited by Russia prior to the invasion
