Kurier: Detained intelligence officers in Vienna may have been preparing an assassination attempt on Kravchenko

Version regarding the preparation of the former Prosecutor General's murder

The Austrian newspaper Kurier published materials suggesting that Ukrainian military intelligence officers detained in the Austrian capital may have been preparing an assassination attempt on former Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko. He is currently staying in Austria.

This hypothesis was formed based on a joint investigation conducted by the Austrian publication together with the Ukrainian organisation Don’t Fund Russia.

Details of the detention and seized equipment

According to Kurier, the individuals involved belonged to a special unit of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) called "Artan". This structure was established to conduct special operations behind enemy lines.

During the detention, cameras and tracking devices were found in the agents' possession. Previously, journalist Mykhailo Tkach, who was also detained in Vienna and published his own investigation, had spoken about the presence of such equipment among the detainees.

Connection to the incident in Monaco

The Kurier editorial team draws a parallel between this case and another high-profile incident — the assassination attempt on the life of Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolayev, which took place in late June in Monaco.
