NATO Swift Response exercise starts in Sweden - VOA News.

The NATO Swift Response has exercise started in Sweden. About 800 paratroopers from the United States, Spain, Hungary, and Italy are participating in the exercise. VOA's Myroslava Gongadze has more on this story.

In Ukraine, counterintelligence investigators said Tuesday that they thwarted a plan by Russian agents to assassinate President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other high-level officials.

Two colonels in the State Guard of Ukraine, which protects top officials, were arrested on suspicion of treason for enacting the plan, Ukraine's state security service said in a prepared statement, which added that the plot was drawn up by Russia's Federal Security Service.

Moscow did not immediately comment on the reports, which indicate that the colonels were recruited prior to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
