Chechnya’s Kadyrov saw plan to kill Ukraine’s leaders at meeting with Putin on Feb 3

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov reportedly received a plan to assassinate Ukraine’s top leaders on February 3 during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

That’s according to the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov, who spoke on the air of Radio NV, Ukrinform reports.

According to the security official, the plan to liquidate the president was agreed upon at that meeting, and Kadyrov undertook to have his Chechen unit complete the mission. Our intelligence was tracking these processes.

Danilov said that there were three groups that were deployed o Ukraine on February 26. It took them two days from the initial start of a full-scale invasion on February 24 to deploy as they are believed to have been waiting for a “green corridor” to safely get to the government headquarters in Kyiv.

"We were monitoring all three groups. One of them was eliminated by our military. The other two later pulled out of our country. One is now in Donetsk region, the other – in the city of Mariupol, but they are not on the front line, but in the third or fourth echelon, where it’s completely safe," Danilov said.

The NSDC secretary also noted that he doesn’t know where Kadyrov is at the moment. "I can say for sure that he has never been here. All these staged photos presuming he was in the war zone are total nonsense," Danilov added.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation launched an unprovoked war against Ukraine. The invaders have been shelling and bombarding peaceful towns and villages, subjecting civilians to torture and extrajudicial killings.
