Russia has claimed to have foiled the plot to kill 2 pro-Ukraine war journalists.
According to Russian media, authorities have claimed that several people involved in the plot to kill journalists have been detained.
Russian media reports have said that journalists Margarita Simonyan and Ksenia Sobchak were spied on and that the detainees have confessed to planning attacks on female journalists.
According to the Russian media, the suspects admitted that they were to receive 16 thousand dollars for the murder of a journalist.
Two pro-war journalists have also been killed in bomb attacks in Russia last year. In May, the Russian nationalist writer Zakhar Prilipin was also injured in a car bombing.
