Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman declined to comment on May 8 on an assertion by Ukrainian intelligence officials a day earlier that they had "thwarted" an assassination plot against Ukraine's president involving Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB). Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted by Reuters as saying only that the Ukrainian accusation was likely to be inaccurate information. Ukraine’s SBU security service alleged on May 7 that five Ukrainian agents linked to the FSB had targeted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, SBU chief Vasyl Malyuk, military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov, and other high-ranking Ukrainian officials.
