An elite Chechen fighting unit sent into Ukraine to kill President Volodymyr Zelensky has been neutralised, according to reports.

Kyiv's Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council, Oleksiy Danilov, said the unit "which came to kill our President, was eliminated", during a televised address.

It was sent into the fellow former Soviet nation by Ramzan Kadyrov, leader of Russia’s Chechnya region and an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Speaking on Ukraine 24 TV channel, Danilov said: "We are already aware of the special operation that was to be carried out by Kadyrov forces unit.


"We received the information from representatives of Russia’s Federal Security Service who do not want to take part in this bloody war.

"The Kadyrov forces unit, which came to kill our President, was eliminated."

He went on to note the unit had been divided into two groups and was closely followed.

According to him, one group came under fire in Hostomel, while another group is currently being held at gunpoint.

Danilov added: "We will not give our President or our country to anyone. This is our land, get out of here."

In the hours after Russia invaded on Thursday morning, Zelensky went into hiding and said he feared for his life and those of his family.

He said in a video address from his secret location, he had been marked "target number one" by Russian forces on a mission to 'abduct' him and take control of the capital.

He claimed that his family's lives are at risk by Russian "sabotage groups" who had moved into the capital city.

Over the weekend, it was then reported that roughly 400 mercenaries were operating in Kyiv under Kremlin orders to assassinate Zelensky.

Armed militia from the Wagner Group were flown into the capital from Africa five weeks ago, it's claimed.

The militia was ordered to decapitate Zelensky’s government in return for a handsome financial bonus.

The scheme was part of Putin's plan to try and seize Kiev, knockout the government and conquer Ukraine within 48 hours - a plan that has so far failed.

The Ukrainian government got wind of the mission on Saturday morning, reports The Times, and mere hours later Kyiv declared a 36-hour 'hard' curfew to sweep the city of saboteurs.

Earlier today, Zelensky raised his fist as he branded Russia a "terrorist state" following a missile attack in front of a civilian public administration building in Kharkiv.

Rubbish news ... that Ukraine boy should be taught a very painful lesson

You not even ashamed that the self acclaimed world power is struggling with a small boarder country, that he even has to call for back-up from Belarus.

Hello Russia is an outdated military formation living on past glory of the Soviet union. And to make it worst, The outdated soviet military's hardware's it still parading.

See the scrap Putin wants to use and fight NATO

No wonder Ukraine can still hold. Trucks that you need to pour 10 liters of gas inside the carburetor before it starts

Using Danfo to fight and claiming super power.

Zelensky my man.
