(Axios)...A unit of elite Chechen special forces, known as Kadyrovites, had been behind the plot and had subsequently been "eliminated."
"We are well aware of the special operation that was to take place directly by the Kadyrovites to eliminate our president," Danilov said, per the post.
Ukrainian authorities had been tipped off about the plot by members of Russia's Federal Security Service who do not support the war, he added.
Danilov elaborated that the Kadyrovite group had been divided into two, with one being destroyed in Gostomel and the other "under fire."
