Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, there have been frequent messages about the "assassination of leaders" between Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian intelligence foiled an assassination attempt against Zelensky in August and successfully captured a suspected woman. However, in this case, Ukraine did not disclose more detailed information, which raised questions and doubts from the outside world. Subsequently, when the United Kingdom interviewed Ukraine, it re-raised the question of whether Ukraine would assassinate Russia's Putin, and Zelensky replied that Ukraine certainly has the right to defend its land and take the necessary measures in the war.
Judging by the development of the whole thing, Ukraine has a relatively obscure attitude towards this "assassination" operation. Although Ukrainian intelligence has said that it has thwarted multiple assassinations against Zelensky, Ukraine has not explicitly denied this. This ambiguity makes it impossible for the outside world to determine whether Ukraine is involved in these actions, triggering speculation and interpretation from all sides.
Some people believe that the repeated mention of the assassination by Ukraine and the West may be an attempt to create a tough image of Ukraine, but does not mean that the assassination actually took place. A close adviser to Ukraine said that Ukraine often announces assassinations in order to show Ukraine's firm stance. It is reported that Zelensky's whereabouts have always been kept secret, and his safety has been guaranteed. Therefore, some people believe that the so-called assassination operation in Ukraine may be just an operation aimed at creating an atmosphere for the Ukrainian-Russian conflict that broke out in Ukraine.
Some commentators believe that Ukraine** deliberately obscured its motives in such reports in order to give the outside world a negative impression of Russia. Western countries need a compliant Ukrainian leader to advance their interests in Ukraine, but Zelensky has shown an increasingly determined posture and is unwilling to listen to outside advice. In response to this situation, the disgust of European and American countries and Russia has increased, and the blame for Zelensky's "assassination" has been blamed on Russia, making Russia the target of public criticism.
Zelenskyy said in an interview that Ukraine, as a country, has every right to defend its land in the war. His remarks were interpreted by some ** as acquiescing in the correctness of the assassination. This response has aroused the attention and controversy of the international community. Some believe that Zelensky's remarks hint at the possibility of the use of extreme measures by Ukraine in the war. However, some people have refuted this, arguing that Zelensky's answer is only a response to the other party's question, rather than an expression of support or encouragement for the assassination.
Newsweek noted in an article that Zelensky's remarks show that it is becoming increasingly difficult for him to control the situation in Ukraine. It also suggests that Zelensky may not just be the target of Russia's assassination, but more likely to have other countries or forces motivated to act against him. The article also states that if something really happens to Zelensky, then all the blame will be placed on Russia. In any case, the attitude of Ukraine in this "assassination" is confusing.
Ukraine** has always maintained a vague and obscure attitude towards the alleged assassination, neither explicitly denying it nor releasing further details. There are various speculations and interpretations about Ukraine's motives and purposes, with some arguing that Ukraine's announcement of the assassination was just to create a tough image, while others believe that Ukraine may have deliberately obscured its motives in order to confront Russia. Zelensky's answer in an interview further intensified the controversy and concern of the international community about Ukraine. However, in any case, we still need more accurate information and evidence to judge and evaluate this "assassination" incident.
