Ukraine's Zelensky fires bodyguard chief after foiled assassination plot

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has sacked the head of his personal protection unit after two of its top officials were detained over an alleged assassination plot.
 
Serhiy Rud has led the president's security detail since 2019.
 
No reason was given for his dismissal.
 
However, the state guard administration is critical for the safety of the president and other key figures in Ukraine.
 
The two state guards who were detained on Tuesday are suspected of belonging to a network of agents run by Russia's security service.
