CIA director secretly met with Zelenskyy before invasion to reveal Russian plot to kill him, book says.

CIA director secretly met with Zelenskyy before invasion to reveal Russian plot to kill him, book saysUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speaks to the press in the town of Bucha on April 4, 2022. Burns warned Zelenskyy about Russian assassination plots at a time when Zelenskyy cast doubt on US intel.

It was unusual for the US to publicly disclose intelligence like this, suggesting Washington was confident in its assessment of Russia's intentions. But just weeks before Russia invaded, Zelenskyy expressed concerns that such warnings would have a negative impact on the Ukrainian economy — and emphasised that Kyiv was used to facing threats from Russia.

"This immediately got Zelensky's attention; he was taken aback, sobered by this news," Whipple wrote in the book, set for release on January 17. "The intelligence was so detailed that it would help Zelensky's security forces thwart two separate Russian attempts on his life," he wrote., Burns also shared a"blueprint of Putin's invasion plan" during that visit in Zelenskyy's office to help him prepare. Whipple wrote. He previewed Russian plans to attack Antonov Airport north of Kyiv and to use it as a staging area for an assault on Kyiv.
