Before the full-scale invasion, the CIA director went to Kiev to warn Zelensky of an assassination attempt.



In total, Zelensky has survived more than 12 assassination attempts since the war began, but at least two of them were avoided thanks to American intelligence, which Burns revealed during a visit to Kiev.

Publicist Chris Whipple writes this, citing data from Ukrainian officials in his yet-to-be-published book, a copy of which has been obtained by The Independent.

Burns was instructed by US President Joe Biden to tell Zelensky about the Russian plans to eliminate the Ukrainian president.

Chris Whipple writes:

The information was so detailed that it helped Zelensky's security forces prevent two separate attempts on his life by Russia.
