“Remove Serhiy Leonidovych Ruda from the post of head of the State Security Service of Ukraine,” reads the presidential decree. The reasons for the appeal are not mentioned in the decree.
However, the Ukrainian media link it to the revelation of a network of agents of the 5th branch of the Russian secret service (FSB), who were preparing the assassination of the Ukrainian president. The Ukrainian authorities reported on the foiling of this plan on May 7, stating that two members of the president’s security were detained.
“One of the tasks of the agents was to find an executor who would take Zelensky hostage and then eliminate him. They were looking for such a person in the army, close to the security of the president,” Unian wrote.

The website further reported that in addition to Zelensky, the group also planned to eliminate the head of the Ukrainian Secret Service (SBU) Vasyl Malyuk, the head of the Ukrainian Intelligence Service (GUR) Kyryl Budanov and other high-ranking officials.
“The liquidation of Budanov was planned before the Orthodox Easter. An agent recruited by Russia was supposed to provide data on the coordinates of the house where Budanov was supposed to be. It was assumed that Russia would hit the site with a missile,” Unian reported.
