Ukrainian Intelligence Thwarts Russian Assassination Plot Against President Zelensky

In a recent revelation, Ukrainian intelligence has disclosed the disruption of a sinister scheme orchestrated by Russian operatives aimed at assassinating President Volodymyr Zelensky and other high-ranking officials. The SBU State Security Service disclosed that they apprehended Russian agents embedded within the Ukrainian state guard, actively conspiring to abduct and eliminate the president and key governmental figures.

Vasyl Malyuk, the head of SBU, revealed that the foiled assassination plot was intended as a “gift” to Vladimir Putin, scheduled just before his upcoming inauguration. The SBU managed to apprehend two suspected infiltrators, believed to have been recruited by Russia prior to its invasion.

The intricate plan included a Russian secret agent transmitting coordinates of a safe house in preparation for a rocket attack. Additionally, Russia intended to obliterate all evidence by targeting the president with another missile, using a drone.

Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the SBU asserted, “The enemy was actively developing plans to eliminate President Volodymyr Zelensky.” The FSB, Russia’s intelligence network, sought to enlist military personnel involved in the president’s protection to facilitate the abduction and subsequent assassination.

In addition to President Zelensky, the targets of the plot included Vasyl Malyuk, the head of the Security Service of Ukraine, and Kyryll Budanov, the head of the state administration of Ukraine, among others.

Mr. Malyuk emphasized the covert nature of the operation, stating, “A limited number of people knew about our special operation, and I personally monitored its progress.” He highlighted the failure of the terrorist attack, which was intended to be a pre-inauguration gift to Putin, as a testament to the resilience of Ukrainian intelligence against Russian aggression.

VALE 52396 MAJOR ROBERT IAN GEORGE (Rtd) AATTV & 1 RAR 2nd TOUR SVN

ED: From 1RAR Association.
Dear Members
Just received further sad news from Merv Dicton this evening
Had a call from Dutchy Hemerik tonight to pass on the sad news that our original Bn 2IC, Major Robert Ian (Bob) George passed away in his sleep last night in Carlyle Gardens Townsville. Some of us last saw Bob at a coffee catch up on the Saturday of the reunion.
Dutchy said he was sitting next to Bob on ANZAC Day and Bob said he wanted to make it to June when he turned 90. Sad news indeed and I’m raising a glass in Bob’s memory now.
No other details now, will pass on once I find out anything.
RIP Bob. An outstanding Officer and gentleman and all manner of things to each of us in the Premier Battalion. Bob served in AATTV and 1 RAR in Vietnam. He is remembered by Dutchy as a 2LT in 2 RAR. Bob had a great career in Army and was a mentor and legend to the vast majority of us.
I imagine that Bob and JPA are catching up right now and reliving their memories as we will be.
Condolences to any surviving family, friends and brothers in arms. Another legend is lost to us.
Lest We Forget.
Thanks for letting us know Dutchy and Alan Braby.
LEST WE FORGET

We need a comprehensive national security strategy

Despite the efforts of our defence and intelligence agencies, the Australian public remains largely unaware of the extent of external threats. We need a comprehensive national security strategy, not just a defence plan, to engage all sectors in protecting our sovereignty and countering foreign interference.

While our allies have such strategies in place, our government has neglected crucial areas like border security and industry development. We must follow the example of the late Senator Molan and develop a strategy that encompasses all aspects of national security.

Recent events globally, from Canada to Taiwan, highlight the pervasive threat of foreign interference in democracies. These aggressive nations use social media and other means to undermine our institutions and influence public opinion.

Our democracy is resilient but not invulnerable. We must move beyond short-term politics and prioritize building a safer future for the next generations. It’s time for all levels of government and society to unite in crafting a robust national security strategy, as our children’s future depends on it.

 

 

Voilin rendition of the Last Post

Having attended ANZAC Day commemorations and memorials, this young lady, Rachel Bostoch, felt inspired to pay her own tribute to the brave ANZAC’s, including both of her Great Grandfather’s.

To those who served and to those who serve now, thank you.

Here is her rendition of The Last Post.

Who really won the WW2 jet race? It’s complicated…

The Gloster Meteor was the first British Jet aircraft to enter squadron service. It was the culmination of Allied efforts to win a top-secret race that lasted the entire Second World War – the race for speed. As soldiers fought on battlefields across the world, British and German engineers went head-to-head in battle to build an engine that would change aerial warfare forever.

Radicalization of Europe- Not just in USA, OZ & Canada.

ED: The following is from my inbox this morning.

Hi All,

Please watch the video below. We don’t have to be in the elite bureaucrat-driven, European Union to suffer the same fate as the video describes. We have Albo, who has brought in over 1,000,000 immigrants to Australia, in the last year, 125,000 of them in January alone. We are a nation of just 27 million so 1,000,000 is close to 4% of our population in 12 months. Proportionally, this is more than the flood of refugees into the USA. Most are from Africa and the Middle East, just like Europe. He also has brought in 3,000 from Gaza, where a recent poll showed that more than 75% openly support HAMAS. Visas were given in some cases, in less than two hours. How can you do security clearances in a war-torn country where our diplomatic staff don’t exist, in two hours? You don’t. To me it’s pretty much a certainty that some of the 3,000 are HAMAS fighters and/or their families. Albanese is importing our next round of terrorists. Note, not one of the Arab Countries in the Middle East has taken in a single Palestinian refugee since October the 7th. They are not stupid.

John Taske.

 

This is one important speech based on our basic historical values, whether in Australia, or Hungary or the EU. Finally, a view of where this uncontrolled immigration is impacting Europe. With Christian values at stake.

A huge criticism of the EU in Brussels. Hence the primary cause of Brexit some years ago. Hard not to agree with every word.
