Via Olga Lautman, a story from the Ukrainian Independent Information Agency (UNIAN.NET) reports that the FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation) tipped off the Ukrainians to a plot by “Kadyrovites” (Chechens; Putin’s most loyal servitors) to assassinate Ukrainian President Zelensky. The Ukrainians snuffed them out. Excerpt from the Google translation:

The special operation that was to be carried out directly by the Kadyrovites to eliminate our president is fully known to us today. And I can say that we received information from representatives of the FSB, who today have no desire to take part in this bloody war. And thanks to For this, I can say, that Kadyrov's elite group, which went here specifically to eliminate our president, was directly destroyed," Danilov said. www-unian-net.translate.goog/...

the Wagner group. Heard Thom mention it Monday. The Chechen Paramilitary force was the one that was destroyed but not sure if they were associated or being paid by Wagner.

It’s ridiculous. First it’s way too specific. Second, the sourcing was nonsense.

Then start looking for non-echo independent confirmation. By ‘non-echo’ I mean that our media frequently is reporting what somebody else reported without making that clear.

Perhaps a Constellis associated group is doing the hunting.
