"Putin is noticing that we are getting closer and closer to him, but he is also afraid of being killed by his own people," Vadym Skibitsky, deputy head of Ukraine's military intelligence service, said.
The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russia's security services knew what they were doing after a top Ukrainian intelligence official said President Vladimir Putin was number one on Kyiv's kill list.
Vadym Skibitsky, deputy head of Ukraine's military intelligence service, told Germany's Die Welt newspaper in an interview that Kyiv wanted to assassinate Putin "because he coordinates and decides what happens" in the war and that the Russian leader was aware he topped Ukraine's kill list.
"But in the end, everyone will have to answer for their actions," Skibitsky was quoted as saying.
"Putin is noticing that we are getting closer and closer to him, but he is also afraid of being killed by his own people," Skibitsky told Die Welt.
