Russian secrect service agents foiled an attempt to assassinate President Vladimir Putin, insiders have said.
The Federal Protection Service (FSO), which has responsibility for protecting top Russian officials, apparently stopped an attempt to kill Putin with explosives placed in a river bed underneath a bridge.
Telegram channel VChK-OGPU claimed the device was timed to blow up as Putin‘s motorcade travelled across the unnamed bridge, likely to be somewhere along the route from the Kremlin to the President’s residence outside Moscow.
The Telegram post states: “The FSO was checking information about the preparation of an assassination attempt on Putin with the help of explosives at the bottom of the Moskva River, laid down from a barge.
“A duty officer of the Federal Security Service reported a suspicious barge under the bridge.”

The Telegram post states: “The FSO was checking information about the preparation of an assassination attempt on Putin with the help of explosives at the bottom of the Moskva River, laid down from a barge.
“A duty officer of the Federal Security Service reported a suspicious barge under the bridge.”
Divers were reportedly seen in the water after the suspect barge was ordered to move, “due to the movement of motorcades over the bridge”.
The FSO is thought to have checked the papers of the crew of the barge, who claimed they were carrying out repairs to the bridge.
Nothing has been announced officially as of yet related to the detection of explosives.
The post added: “The employee said that in connection with security measures, it is necessary to remove the ship, this is due to the movement of motorcades along the bridge itself.
Immediately after that, the divers began to examine the bottom of the river, and after a few hours, the FSO demanded to check the documents of all those present on the barge.
“The officers were interested in documents confirming the completion of repair work at the bridge on that particular day and time.
“Special services are still working with the repair team and their superiors.”
A brief clip shot from the bridge appeared to show security forces on a boat in the Moskva near the Novoarbatsky Bridge.
The activity was close to the World Trade Centre and the White House headquarters of the Russian government near the former Ukraine Hotel, a Stalin tower now which is now called the Radisson Collection Hotel.
A drone strike in May targeted the Kremlin in what Russia claimed was likewise at attempt by Ukrainian forces to assassinate Putin.
Ukraine‘s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, refused the suggestion, saying: “We don’t attack Putin or Moscow.
“We fight on our territory. We’re defending our villages and cities”
