Over 400 mercenaries from Russia are operating in the Ukrainian capital under orders by Russian President Putin to assassinate the President of Ukraine.
The Kremlin is ordering troops to prepare the ground in Kyiv for a Kremlin-takeover.
According to The Times UK, the Wagner Group, a private militia run by one of President Putin’s closest allies and operating as an arm-length branch of the state, flew in mercenaries from Africa five weeks ago on a mission to decapitate Zelensky’s government in return for a handsome financial bonus.

Ukraine’s Government received word about the 400 mercenaries on Saturday morning and later Kyiv declared a 36-hour hard curfew to sweep the city for Russian saboteurs.
The Ukraine Government warned that civilians seen out during the curfew would be seen as Kremlin agents and they risked being “liquidated” if they did step outside.
