Ukrainian volunteer Serhiy Sternenko revealed new details about the assassination attempt on his life, which occurred 1 May 2025 year. According to him, several people were involved in planning the attack, and information about his movements was getting to Russian security services. He spoke about this in an interview with Ukrainian Pravda, reported by Glavkom.
“I know that she (editor’s note: Glavkom is a woman who shot Sternenko 1 May 2025 year) was helped by several people. I know that a police officer participated in organizing the attack, who tracked my movements through a secure city and disseminated the information further,” Sternenko said.
According to the volunteer, the obtained data were passed to the curators at the FSB. He also said that one of the organizers of the assassination, who coordinated the attack in Ukraine, is currently in a pre-trial detention center. It is likely that this person supplied the attacker with weapons and explosives.
“I know that now the organizer of the attack who coordinated this process on the ground is in the pre-trial detention center. He allegedly, if I’m not mistaken, provided this woman Lyudmila with weapons and explosives, because there was also an explosive device in her apartment,” Sternenko said.
Sternenko claims that the police officer who tracked his movements was dismissed. He supposedly explained his actions by saying he did not know the information would be used for the benefit of Russian security services. At the same time, the volunteer is convinced that the law enforcement officer should have faced criminal liability.
In addition, Sternenko disclosed that the woman who shot him had been preparing for the attack in advance and had visited a shooting range for several days.
According to the volunteer, the Security Service of Ukraine warned him about the preparation of the assassination. One of the high-ranking SBU officers personally told him that Russian security services knew his address and were close to carrying out the attack.
After this, Sternenko’s security was strengthened by involving personnel from the special unit Alpha. He claims that one of the special forces saved his life. Additionally, the volunteer rented an armored car to hide during the shooting.
“One high-ranking official from the Security Service of Ukraine invited me to a talk and provided all the available details, explained, and told me at what stage they were roughly. There was an understanding that they were already close to executing the assassination,” he noted.
Sternenko also stated that he was preparing to change his place of residence, but had not time to move before the attack. According to him, information about the new address had previously been published by Andriy Portnov. The volunteer also accused Oleksandr Sirskyi of making his previous address public through the publication of wanted documents. These accusations require independent confirmation.
As a reminder, 1 May 2025 year, an armed attack was carried out on Serhiy Sternenko, resulting in injuries. The attacker was detained by law enforcement. According to the volunteer, he survived about three attempts and one assault overall.
