WASHINGTON: White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment on reports about Ukraine foiling an assassination attempt on President Volodymyr Zelensky, reported Sputnik.
Earlier in the day, Ukraine’s intelligence agency said it arrested a woman in connection to an alleged plot to assassinate Zelensky.
“I saw the report. I haven’t had a chance to talk to our National Security Council on this… just not going to comment from here,” Jean-Pierre told reporters on Monday.
The White House press secretary referred reporters to the Ukrainian government to speak directly on the incident.
The woman, according to the Ukrainian intelligence agency, tried to establish the time and list of locations that Zelensky planned to visit in Ukraine’s southern region. – BERNAMA-SPUTNIK
