Kiev was preparing an assassination attempt on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Defense Minister Andrei Belousov during their stay in St. Petersburg, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on the air of the Russia 1 TV channel.

According to the diplomat, the terrorist attack was avoided by a call that Belousov made to the head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin. Ryabkov notes that he took the information seriously. “I can say that according to some indications, the signal that was sent from the Russian side to Washington and, as I understand it, not only to Washington, but also to some other capitals controlled by Washington, has reached,” he said.

On July 27, The New York Times also wrote that Belousov, during a conversation with Austin, announced a “secret operation” that Ukraine could be preparing against Russia. According to the head of the Russian Defense Ministry, this operation was approved by the United States. Pentagon officials were surprised by the “accusation” and said that they did not know about any conspiracy, while Belousov’s words were taken quite seriously.
