Russia behind assassination attempt against Ukrainian president's aide

Investigators examine bullet holes in a car of Volodymyr Zelenskiy's principal aide, following an attack outside Kiev on September 22, 2021, following a recent attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. Oleksandr Korniienko says Russia is behind an assassination attempt against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's chief aide, Head of President's Political Party, Oleksandr Zelensky, on 22 Sept. 2017.

Should a Russian trace not be completely ruled out. We know their ability to organise terrorist attacks in different countries, Korniienko told reporters.

A volley of shots was shot at a car carrying the aide, Serhiy Shefir, on Wednesday in what a senior official called an assassination attempt, but only wounded the driver in what a senior official called the attempt.
