Russia’s FSB safety service stated on Monday it had thwarted an assassination try on Sergei Aksyonov, the Russian-backed head of Crimea, the Interfax news company reported.

The FSB stated it had detained a Russian man who had been employed and skilled by Ukraine‘s safety providers to kill Aksyonov by blowing up his automobile.

There was no rapid remark from Ukraine.

Russia annexed Crimea, the place it bases its Black Sea Fleet, from Ukraine in 2014.
