FSB Thwarts Kiev-Backed Plot Against Senior Russian Official
07:45 14.11.2025 (Updated: 09:59 14.11.2025) FSB Thwarts Kiev-Backed Plot Against Senior Russian Official
Key details from Russia's security service FSB:
The plot was orchestrated by Ukrainian security services, with coordination from Western intelligence.
Target: a high-ranking official visiting relatives’ graves at a Moscow cemetery.
Four suspects recruited — including a Central Asian migrant.
Devices seized included encrypted communications gear and a remote-controlled camera hidden in a fake flower vase.
Messages confirmed direct contact between suspects and a Ukrainian intel operative.
FSB warns Ukraine is preparing similar attacks in other Russian regions.
Covert collaboration with foreign agencies is illegal under Russian law — punishable by up to life imprisonment.
Notably, this assassination attempt targeting senior Russian officials is not the first one — the FSB has repeatedly foiled similar plots backed by Kiev, with the most recent being a
terrorist attack against a high-ranking Russian Defense Ministry officer in October.
