Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko, whose reported death was international news on Tuesday night, has appeared at a televised press conference. The journalist thanked Ukraine's security services for saving his life, purportedly by faking his death in order to foil a genuine assassination attempt.
Babchenko appeared with representatives from Ukraine's security services and Ministry of Justice. Vasily Gritsak, the head of Ukraine's SBU security service, told reporters that the operation had been planned for two months. Gritsak claimed Russian intelligence agents had paid a Ukrainian man $40,000 (roughly €34,000) "to organize and carry out the killing of an exiled Russian journalist."
Babchenko himself apologized for the pain the news of his death had caused, telling those present: "I have been forced to bury my friends and colleagues many times and I know the sickening feeling." His family was not informed of the plan either, leading him to add: "Special apologies to my wife, Olechka, there was no other option."

@Ahile: Sure, she will. I pray Ukraine and Russia settle their crisis as well. @Lily: A perfect plan. @Olajide: It is called race for survival

Lily, one thing I know we humans love very much is to stay alive. We can do anything possible to survive . Sometimes, to stay alive, you have to do weird stuffs like going on self-imposed exile or any other strange act especially when one's life is being threatened
