MK reports that Russia may have lifted an unofficial ban on targeting Zelensky and Ukraine by senior military leadership, citing Russian military Telegram channels.
According to reports, security officials demanded permission to kill senior Ukrainian officials during a closed Security Council meeting, following continued drone attacks on Russia's Leningrad region, particularly the Baltic port of Ust-Luga.
The tabloid claims that the security forces consider protective measures insufficient to prevent further attacks and prefer to harm those responsible for inviting them.
No official confirmation has been received that such a decision has been made.
