One of Vladimir Putin’s puppets has issued a chilling new assassination threat against Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky as he claims he is “unlikely to have chance of living to old age”.<\/p>\n
Ex-Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, who is also Putin’s deputy on the security council issued the sickening new threat after Zelensky revealed he had already survived at least five assassination attempts by the Kremlin.<\/p>\n
Medvedev said: “All this cheap bravado also evokes one very obvious thought.<\/p>\n
“With such powerful \u2018prophecies\u2019, this fool is unlikely to have a chance of living to old age. Thoughts are sometimes material.\u201d<\/p>\n
In an interview with the Sun, Zelensky, 45, said: “The first one is very interesting, when it is the first time, and after that it is just like Covid.<\/p>\n
