The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) announced today that they thwarted assassination attempts targeting two prominent Russian journalists: Margarita Simonyan (editor-in-chief of RT and Rossiya Segodnya) and Ksenia Sobchack.

"The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, together with the Investigative Committee and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, prevented the preparation of the assassination of Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of the RT channel and the international information agency Rossiya Segodnya, by the Ukrainian special services," the FSB said in a statement, adding that "according to the information we have, the assassination of Ksenia Sobchak was also being prepared." 

Members of Paragraph-88, the Ukrainian neo-Nazi group, who were conducting reconnaissance near the journalists' places of work and residence were apprehended by the Russian Federal Security Services.
