VLADIMIR Putin has survived an assassination attempt after he was attacked during a trip, Ukraine has claimed.
The country’s Chief of Defence Intelligence Kyrylo Budanov said there was an “unsuccessful attempt” against the Russian President’s life at the start of the war against Ukraine.
He told Ukrainian Pravda: “Putin was assassinated…
“He was even attacked in the line of, as they say, representatives of the Caucasus not so long ago.
“This is non-public information. Absolutely unsuccessful attempt, but it really took place… It was about 2 months ago.”
“Once again, he was unsuccessful. There is no publicity about this event, but it took place. “

Earlier this month Budanov fuelled rumours about the Russian tyrant’s health, saying he is in a “very bad psychological and physical condition and he is very sick”.
Speaking to Sky News he said he believes the war in Ukraine will hit a “breaking point” in summer and be over before the end of the year.
He claimed Putin will be ousted from office within this time as his invasion continues to stall in the face of stiff Ukrainian resistance – with rumours continuing to swirl about the Russian president’s health.

He said at the time: “The breaking point will be in the second part of August.
“Most of the active combat actions will have finished by the end of this year.
“As a result, we will renew Ukrainian power in all our territories that we have lost including Donbas and the Crimea.”
He continued: “It will eventually lead to the change of leadership of the Russian Federation.
“This process has already been launched and they are moving into that way.”
