I wondered if hter was a thread on this. Very John le Carre

The head of Ukraine's security services told reporters the "murder" had been staged after Ukraine learned of a Russian plot to kill the journalist.

So why bring him 'back to life'? Do they think there won't be another plot? Seems a bizarre way to turn a successful mission into a failure.

Anyone holding out for Joe Cocker's press conference?

The mission appears to be to publicly expose Russian agents, any further attempts will be squarely blamed on Russia which may give him more safety. You have to assume he also wanted to stay in public life.
