A Russian FSB officer accused by Ukraine of trying to assassinate Kyrylo Budanov is attending peace talks in Abu Dhabi. His alleged target is there, too — as part of Ukraine’s delegation.
The Russian delegation at the trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi has five members and six experts. Four of them are taking part in these talks for the first time, the independent Russian investigative outlet Agentstvo said.
In a recent peace conference in Abu Dhabi, a Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) officer named Dmitry Minaev, head of the Counterintelligence Operations Department, is attending. According to Ukrainian sources, Minaev and his department were involved in a failed assassination attempt on Kyrylo Budanov, a former head of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate and now part of Ukraine's delegation. The alleged target, Budanov, is also present at the talks.
