Vladimir Putin has sent his troops into Ukraine, demonstrating all his brutality.

In the USA, a politician is therefore inciting an attack on the Kremlin boss.

• Vladimir Putin had his troops march into Ukraine on February 24 - officially they are conducting a "special operation" there.

• The Kremlin chief is primarily concerned with the elimination of the government around President Volodymyr Zelenskyj.

• The US is now calling to stop Putin - by assassinating him.

Munich – Is Vladimir Putin* now living dangerously?

Although the Kremlin boss hardly shows up in public and is probably well protected, he may have to worry about his well-being because of the Ukraine war *.

Because the Republican US Senator Lindsey Graham openly calls for the assassination of the head of state.

The politician wrote on Twitter: “Is there a Brutus in Russia?

Or is there a more successful General Stauffenberg in the Russian military?” With this, Graham is alluding to the unsuccessful assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944, for which several resistance fighters from the ranks of the Wehrmacht paid with their lives.

Ukraine war: US senator hopes for 'special service' from Russia

"This can only end with someone from Russia* getting rid of the guy," Graham adds in his post. "You would be doing your country - and the entire world - a special service." the only ones who can fix this.

Easier said than done.

If you don't want to live in darkness for the rest of your life, isolated from the rest of the world in abject poverty, now is the time to step in."

Putin's latest moves have the entire world on guard.

By allowing the military to invade Ukraine, Russia's powerful president is essentially testing the strength of the EU and NATO.

Because nobody really knows what the Kremlin's ruler would risk to achieve his goals.

And where the campaign now begun would end.

Putin and Ukraine: Russia's President mourns the loss of the Soviet Union

After the outbreak of war, Putin communicated with French President Emmanuel Macron*, but the strong man in the Élysée Palace could not dissuade him from his plan.

The government in Kyiv around the brave President Volodymyr Zelenskyj* is a gang of Nazis for the 69-year-old - apparently only because the members are looking for proximity to the EU*.

The head of state, who has been in office since 1999 with a four-year break, denies the independence of the neighboring country, describing the collapse of the Soviet Union as the "greatest geopolitical catastrophe" of the 21st century.

At the latest since the annexation of the Crimean peninsula in 2014, the Ukraine conflict* has been smoldering - sometimes more, mostly less followed by the world public.

Hardly ever appears in public anymore: Does Vladimir Putin suspect that the war can also be particularly dangerous for him?

Ukraine conflict: Putin speaks of “special operation” in campaign

With the deployment of large units of Putin's army on the border with Ukraine *, the focus in recent months has been more on the trouble spot.

However, very few observers expected the invasion, which began on February 24.

Putin himself explained the move to a "special operation" because it was about Russia's security interests.

Because the former KGB agent demands a commitment that Ukraine* will not become a NATO member.

In addition, he is said to be calling for demilitarization in peace negotiations as a prerequisite for ending the fighting.

Putin and Zelenskyj: Apparently three assassination attempts foiled

He threatened states that should interfere in the conflict with “unprecedented consequences”.

Presumably, Putin has already approved several assassination attempts on Zelenskyj, whom he apparently wants to depose at any price.

However, according to the English newspaper

, three attacks on Ukraine's pro-Western president have been foiled.

But Putin could hardly have imagined that he himself could one day be targeted.

Even if he has unmistakably exercised particular caution in recent times.
