The Russian Security Council at a closed meeting allegedly decided to lift an unspoken ban on the physical elimination of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the leadership of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian publication "MK" reports.
According to Russian sources, during the closed meeting, security officials demanded abandoning previous agreements not to target the Ukrainian leadership. Prolonged drone attacks on the Leningrad region, particularly on the port of Ust-Luga, were cited as the pretext.
The participants of the meeting deemed the strategy of passive defense unpromising. In their opinion, even the allocated funds do not allow protecting the entire territory from drones, while retaliatory strikes on Ukrainian bridges and energy facilities fail to stop attacks on Russian enterprises.
Therefore, the security bloc proposed moving to the targeted elimination of those who give orders, also citing the impossibility of reaching an agreement with Kyiv under the current authorities.
Russian sources claim that special services and aviation may receive permission to use heavy hypersonic weapons against the bunkers and motorcades of the Ukrainian leadership. To destroy deeply buried shelters, it is proposed to use three-ton guided aerial bombs "FAB-3000" and "Iskander" ballistic missiles.
Russia included Dmitry Minaev, head of the FSB's Counterintelligence Operations Department, in its delegation at the trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi. This structure was previously linked to an assassination attempt on the Chief of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Kyrylo Budanov, back in 2019.
