Part of the elite unit of the Kadyrovtsy (Kadyrov followers) who came to Ukraine to eliminate the President of Ukraine, at the gunpoint of the Ukrainian military, they were handed over to the FSB, said Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC).

"The special operation that was to be carried out directly by Kadyrovtsy to eliminate our president is fully known to us today. I can say that we received information from representatives of the FSB who have no desire to take part in this bloody war. Thanks to this, that Kadyrov's elite group that came here to liquidate our president was killed," he said on the air of the Ukraine 24 TV channel.

He added that, having arrived in Ukraine, they were divided into two groups.

"We tracked them. One group was covered in Hostomel, the second is now under gunpoint. We will not give our president or our country to anyone. This is our land," he said.
