President Donald Trump has been trying to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine.

No, he hasn't. He's been talking about it, but that isn't "trying," throwing this squarely into the realm of propaganda.

Unrelated, doesn't Kyiv have windows? Why activate a retiree sleeper agent when a simple defenestration will do?

Stay on the ground floor. Defenestration is much safer then.

I mean if this is true I can't imagine the Russians would think this would be a very successful attempt. This would be hilarious as a movie plot. Polish grandpa is a Soviet sleeper agent being pulled out of his retirement home and having a fsb agent attempt to explain to him how to operate a drone.

I guess throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks works with assassinations as well?

It's basically R.E.D. but from wish.com.

It's part of the basic premise for Slow Horses Season 2.
