Denys Shtilierman, co-founder and CEO of Fire Point, has refuted reports circulated in mass media and social networks regarding his death and the death of his bodyguards as a result of an assassination attempt near Kyiv.
"Rumors about my death or the death of my bodyguards are slightly exaggerated," he wrote on the X social network on Thursday.
Earlier, journalist Serhiy Auslender, citing his own sources, reported an assassination attempt against the head of Fire Point near the Ukrainian capital, noting that Shtilierman sustained a minor injury.
Official confirmation of the incident from law enforcement agencies has not yet been received.
