Russian President Vladimir Putin and the founder of the Wagner mercenary group Yevgeny Prigozhin: these are the excellent names at the head of the Ukrainian list of people to be killed. Objectives that the men of Kiev actively pursue, as revealed by the number two of the Ukrainian 007, Vadym Skibitsky, in an interview with the German Die Welt. Of course, the mission to bring down the Kremlin leader is not an easy one and the subject knows well that he is a coveted prey, “he is still holed up” but “now he is starting to stick his head out”, explained Skibitsky, emphasizing, however, that even when he appears in public one is never sure “it’s really him”.
The rumor of Putin’s use of doubles to avoid risks and deflect threats is as well known as it is unverifiable. That said, the Russian president himself “notes that we are getting closer and closer to him”, argued the number two of the 007 Ukrainians. Earlier this month, a week before Victory Day, an event very popular in Russia, two drones attacked the Kremlin: they were shot down, but the debris caused some damage without causing any injuries. Putin was not present at the residence, spokesman Dmitry Peskov hastened to specify, accusing Kiev of having planned a terrorist attack on the president’s life.
Putin not only fears the Ukrainians, but is “afraid of being killed by his own people”, added Skibitsky, assuring that Kiev’s list of objectives is long: “Everyone will have to answer for their actions”. Among them, in addition to Prigozhin, are Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov, commanders of Russian units deployed in the war in Ukraine, but also Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, although the latter is ” realized that strategically the Putin regime has already lost”.
