When asked during the supposed interrogation by Russia’s anti-terrorism unit where he was supposed to plant the explosive device, he said, “In the underground parking of the Four Seasons hotel in Moscow. I was supposed to pick up the explosive device from a hiding place and place it under the car.”
When asked how much he was paid to carry out the assassination attempt, Alexeievich replied, “Four thousand dollars.”
Though he said he initally “wasn’t told” who the target was, he later learned it was journalist Tucker Carlson, a vocal critic of Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky.
“I was detained at the preparation stage,” he said.
The alleged assassination attempt comes following reports that Carlson was added to Ukraine’s so-called “kill list” for conducting his wide-ranging interview with Russian Vladimir Putin.
The Democrats, the UK, Hillary Clinton, and Ukraine’s government all characterized Carlson as a traitor to the U.S. over his interview with Putin.
