A plot to assassinate President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been uncovered by Ukraine's state security service (SBU).
The SBU claimed two agents who were posing as Ukrainian state guard servicemen were tasked by Moscow to figure out a way to capture Mr Zelenskyy and later kill him.
They also planned to kill other high-ranking Ukrainian officials, the SBU said in a statement on Telegram.
Head of the SBU, Vasyl Malyuk, described the plot as a "gift to Putin before the inauguration".
The SBU said two suspects have been detained after an investigation gradually documented their alleged criminal actions.
