Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) claims to have foiled a plan “to kill RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan and ‘journalist’ Ksenia Sobchak”, reports Moscow Kremlin’s propaganda agency “RIA Novosti”, as well as Russian exile media “Novaya Gazeta Europe”.

The FSB claims that neo-Nazis from the Paragraph 88 group were detained in Moscow and the Ryazan region. According to information provided by the FSB, a group “on behalf of the Security Service of Ukraine for a reward of 1.5 million rubles (14,778 euros) for each attempted murder” was preparing the assassination of the two women and monitored the residences and offices of Simonyan and Sobchak.

“A Kalashnikov assault rifle with cartridges, rubber batons, knives and handcuffs were confiscated from the detained persons,” the FSB statement said.
