Quote from Maliuk: "A local resident of Kherson, a scoundrel, was detained on 10 April.

Together with the enemy secret services, he tried to organise an attempt on Mr Prokudin's life.

A new model of an enemy FPV drone was launched from a depth of 12 kilometres.

This scoundrel carried out visual surveillance directly at the scene and adjusted the fire at Prokudin's car.

All this was documented. He was detained at the stage of the completed attempt. The enemy drone was shot down by our electronic warfare systems in time."

Details: Maliuk said that the Security Service has worked on 12 more similar episodes in Kherson Oblast – preparation of attacks on the military, defence industry, etc.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also took part in the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities.

He called on local authorities to contribute to the development of all defence industries, pay maximum attention to the military and communicate more at all levels.
