Ukraine Foils FSB Plot to Take Out Putin’s Enemy in Kyiv

Ukraine’s Security Service says it worked with military intelligence to foil an alleged FSB plot against a Russian opposition leader visiting Ukraine for Independence Day. The intended target has not been identified, and Ukrainian authorities have released few details about the operation. The story became even more confusing after Ukrainian personnel reportedly exchanged gunfire during searches in Kyiv. Several people were wounded, and Ukrainian media reported that an intelligence officer may have been killed. Separately, the Russian Volunteer Corps announced that Deputy Commander Stefan Kaplunkov had disappeared—but authorities have not confirmed that his disappearance is connected to the alleged FSB plot. I examine what Ukraine has officially alleged, what remains unconfirmed, and the conflicting reports surrounding the confrontation between Ukrainian security personnel. We also cover Ukraine’s reported deployment of 340 strike drones, a fire at Russia’s Proton-PM rocket-engine plant in Perm, Russian attacks on Kyiv and Odesa, Ukraine’s expanding interceptor-drone defenses, and the latest battlefield assessment.
