Russian Mercenary Targets Ukrainian Artist in Warsaw
A Russian national allegedly recruited by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) was plotting to assassinate Ukrainian rapper and blogger Kyivstoner in Warsaw. Polish authorities announced on Thursday, Aug. 13, that they detained the suspect on Aug. 7, before the attack could take place, though they did not name the victim.
A mercenary linked to Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) was arrested in Warsaw, Poland, for allegedly planning to assassinate Ukrainian rapper and video blogger Slevin Dadyan, also known as Kyivstoner, in August. The suspect, a 29-year-old man from Donbas, was apprehended near Warsaw's Wołoska Street after collaborating with Poland's Internal Security Agency (ABW) to uncover the plot.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that the Russian regime might attempt to eliminate individuals who are inconvenient for various reasons, globally. Slevin Dadyan, whose real name is Albert Vasilyev, was accused by the FSB for his involvement in a drone smuggling operation, which targeted a defense enterprise in the Moscow region.
The plot involved a network of operatives, including a former Wagner mercenary and Ukraine's Security Service (SBU), to smuggle 35 first-person-view drones into Russia. Vasilyev denied the allegations on social media, claiming he was unaware of the involvement of the accused organization.
