Ukrainian officials have taken credit for a car bomb that killed a Russian-backed politician Wednesday, calling the act retribution.
Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense wrote on Telegram that "traitors to Ukraine and collaborators with terrorist Russia in temporarily occupied territories … will receive just retribution! The hunt continues!"
Andriy Cherniak, representative of Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Directorate, told Politico "it was our operation."
The Telegram post claimed that members of the resistance in the occupied territory helped carry out the killing of Luhansk legislature member Mikhail Filiponenko, who had survived a previous car bombing just days before Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Filiponenko formerly led Moscow-backed separatist troops in Luhansk and represented the group in the cease-fire monitoring center in the region before the start of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion last year, Radio Free Europe reported.
The directorate alleged that Filiponenko had organized and participated in the torture of prisoners of war and civilians, calling him "the executioner."
Rebekah Koffler, president of Doctrine & Strategy Consulting and a former Defense Intelligence Agency officer, told Fox News Digital that Ukraine is turning to "targeted killings" as a result of failing to realize the gains anticipated from their counteroffensive this year.
"It’s an irregular form of warfare used by modern militaries when they are unable to produce a clear military victory with conventional approaches," Koffler explained.

That is what I am thinking. I don’t think we are getting off Scott free for bombing the pipeline.
