The speaker of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU), Andrii Yusov, reports that the Kremlin is currently actively discussing methods of continuing the "cleansing" of influential people among the Russian opposition. Thus, the dictator Vladimir Putin can start a "hunt" for the well-known oppositionist Mykhailo Khodorkovsky.
Putin is thinking about Khodorkovsky's assassination
As Ukrainian spies managed to find out, after the murder of Alexei Navalny in prison, meetings were held in Moscow throughout the weekend in the administration of "President" Putin and the secret services of the Russian Federation regarding further actions regarding other Russian opposition figures.
Andriy Yusov noted that Navalny was perceived in Western countries as one of the central figures of the opposition to the Kremlin regime.
Now, before the next so-called Putin election, the Russian regime is looking for ways to counter those political figures who reveal the illegitimacy and worthlessness of the Kremlin dictator's reappointment.

DIU also has learned that the activities of Mikhail Khodorkovsky have been actively discussed in the Kremlin because he represents a prominent political and media resource critical of the Russian government and all war criminals.
In addition, possible methods of continuing the "cleansing" of influential people in the Russian opposition in other countries and the consequences of active activities on the territory of the countries of the Free World are being discussed, warns Andriy Yusov.
What is essential to know about Mikhail Khodorkovsky
Mikhail Khodorkovsky is one of the most famous Russian opposition politicians who opposes the regime of dictator Vladimir Putin.
In 2005, he was sentenced by a Russian court to eight years for tax crimes and fraud, and at the end of 2010 to 13.5 years "for stealing oil from subsidiaries of Yukos" and "laundering money of about $30 billion."
The trials of Khodorkovsky and his colleague Platon Lebedev caused a wave of protest in the world and were labelled as politically ordered and legally groundless.
On December 20, 2013, the head of the Kremlin, Putin, pardoned Khodorkovsky.
On March 9, 2014, during a visit to Kyiv, speaking from the Maidan stage, the oppositionist declared that Ukraine and Russia have the only common European path of development and harshly criticized the pro-Russian fugitive president Viktor Yanukovych.
Despite this, on October 16, 2014, when asked if he would return Crimea to Ukraine, Khodorkovsky answered that he would not.
Only a few months passed, and the politician publicly recognised Crimea as Ukrainian territory.
After the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation on February 24, 2022, Mykhailo Khodorkovsky actively supported Ukraine.
