The big picture: According to the Telegram message, Danilov said that a unit of elite Chechen special forces, known as Kadyrovites, had been behind the plot and had subsequently been "eliminated."

"We are well aware of the special operation that was to take place directly by the Kadyrovites to eliminate our president," Danilov said, per the post.

Ukrainian authorities had been tipped off about the plot by members of Russia's Federal Security Service who do not support the war, he added.

Danilov elaborated that the Kadyrovite group had been divided into two, with one being destroyed in Gostomel and the other "under fire."

1. Good news

But I hope they don't let down their guard. I also hope that the FSB connection, whether it can be believed or not, is making putin sleep a little less sound these days.

2. If it was an actual FSB leak, that could be very telling.

Should that be the case Putin could be on very thin ice, but that is far too much to hope for.
