Russian Mercenaries Ordered to Kill Ukraine's President
(The Times-UK) Manveen Rana - More than 400 Russian mercenaries are operating in Kyiv with orders from the Kremlin to assassinate President Zelensky [who is Jewish] and other figures, including the prime minister, the cabinet, and the mayor of Kyiv, and prepare the ground for Moscow to take control, The Times has learned. The Wagner Group, a private militia, flew in mercenaries from Africa five weeks ago, offering a handsome financial bonus. A source confirmed that 2,000-4,000 mercenaries had arrived in Ukraine in January, preparing the ground for an invasion and helping to guide Russian columns to Kyiv. Sources said the Wagner Group appears to be more trusted by the Kremlin than regular Russian forces, and they had been briefed about the planned invasion of Ukraine in December, long before the Russian army was told.
