Russia detains Uzbek man over general's killing in Moscow
BBC ^ | Dec 18, 2024 | Amy Walker

Russia's security service says a 29-year-old man from Uzbekistan has been detained over the killing of senior general Igor Kirillov and his assistant in Moscow.

Lt Gen Igor Kirillov, head of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Forces, was outside a residential block early on Tuesday when an explosive device hidden in a scooter was detonated remotely.

The Russian security service said the unnamed suspect was recruited by Ukrainian intelligence, according to state media agencies.

Ukraine's security service had already claimed it was behind the killing, a source told the BBC on Tuesday.

In a video published by the FSB, the purported suspect - a dark-haired man wearing handcuffs with what appears to be a visible rip in his coat - speaks directly to the camera.

He appears to say he was offered a reward of $100,000 and permission to move to the European Union in exchange for killing Kirillov.

The FSB added that on Ukraine’s instructions, he arrived in Moscow and received a homemade explosive device.

He placed the explosive device on an electric scooter, which he parked at the entrance to the residential building where Kirillov lived, the FSB said.

He then rented a car to monitor Kirillov’s residence and installed a camera on the dashboard which livestreamed a video feed to handlers in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, the statement added.

When they saw Kirillov emerge from the house, the suspect was told to press the button and detonate the bomb, the FSB said.

The Deep State/MSM/Zeeper narrative has abruptly changed on this one. Ukraine was behind Kirillov's murder, now they had nothing to do with it.

Kirillov was separated from his wife?

The last gasp of Zelensky and his Clowns seems to be terrorism.

Caught right away, and immediately implicates Ukraine?

Too convenient ... this smells

Another Russian propaganda ruse, probably ... Russia lies to the World all the time

The Western infected Ukrainians are, like Obama/Biden, evil vile creatures. There can be no peace until they are eridacted wherever they flee. Russia will hunt these NAZIs as Mosade hunted their forefathers after WWII.

Zelensky will probably die in a plane crash before the conflict is negotiated, but should he survive the war London is where he will be executed. Zelensky will most likely be killed by MI6 or the CIA to prevent CONTINUED BLACKMAIL.

What part of "Ukraine's security service had already claimed it was behind the killing," did you not understand?

Nah, this was targeted assassination of an enemy combatant.

The goal was not to spread terror as in the case of Muscowy’s indiscriminate bombing of Ukrainian cities

planting a bomb in a child's scooter and leaving it in full access of anyone passing by is the very definition of recklessness and terrorism.

It's the last gasp from Dictator Zelensky.

What's next? placing exploding dolls under the Christmas tree?

Maybe Russia got a little pissed today (current map)? A lot more people's blood will be shed to feed the military industrial complex.

In Russia:

“...first of all they must be arrested and brought before the court, and the [criminal code] articles will be found” (”...прежде всего нужно их арестовать и отдать под суд, а статьи найдутся.”)

.

The US & Ukraine targeted him for investigating and publicly exposing the CIA's biolabs in eastern Ukraine. All though the article accuses him of using chemical weapons, that was only put in the news one day before to justify killing him.

"1 day ago · A high-ranking general in the Russian armed forces and his assistant have been killed in Moscow by Ukraine's security service, a Ukrainian source has told the BBC."
