Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has sacked the head of his personal protection unit after two of its top officials were detained over an alleged assassination plot.
Serhiy Rud has led the president’s security detail since 2019.
No reason was given for his dismissal, which was announced in a brief presidential decree.
However, the state guard administration is critical for the safety not only of the president but other key figures in Ukraine and their families.
The two colonels in the state guard who were detained on Tuesday are suspected of belonging to a network of agents run by Russia’s FSB security service. END.
