💨 Abstract

Russia's FSB security service has accused Ukrainian intelligence of plotting to assassinate Tikhon Shevkunov, a priest close to President Putin, on the grounds of two arrested church figures. The alleged target, known as "Putin's confessor", was appointed metropolitan of Crimea in 2023. The FSB claimed it found an improvised explosive device and fake Ukrainian passports in its investigation.
