An Uzbek national was offered $100,000 (£78,650) by Ukraine to assassinate the head of the Russian army’s chemical weapons unit, Moscow has claimed.
Russian police have arrested a 29-year-old suspect, who they say had been “recruited by Ukrainian special forces” and offered the money for the assassination of Lt Gen Igor Kirillov.
“On their instructions, he arrived in Moscow, received a powerful improvised explosive device and placed it on an electric scooter, which he parked near the entrance of Kirillov’s home,” Russia’s Investigative Committee said in a statement.
Investigators said the suspect set up a camera in a rental car that broadcast live footage to a Ukrainian SBU intelligence service control centre in the city of Dnipro.
There, an SBU agent “remotely activated” the IED before dawn on Tuesday when Kirillov walked out of his apartment block, killing him and his assistant.
The SBU has been waging a sophisticated assassination campaign throughout the near-three-year war in Ukraine that has killed dozens of Ukrainian collaborators, Russian military officers, Kremlin propagandists and scientists both in Russia and occupied areas of Ukraine.

Your tax dollars at work!
Yep, those Islamic Terrorists that Bomb and Shoot young people at Music Venues are very expensive to hire.
With the possible exception of some American special forces and agency people or the Mossad, the Russians are the world top class pros when it comes to assassination.
And the Russian have very long memories combined with a serious lack forgiveness.
I'd hate to be a Ukrainian and affiliated high value target these days - a lot of people are going to be looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives
I’m sure this “confession” was given without any threats or death, torture, or forced in any way…
I don’t trust anything from either side.
I’m sure Lindsey Graham is delighted. “Lotta bang for our bucks!”
“Not the smartest of moves on the part of the Ukraine.”
As a member of the Russian military, the general was a legitimate target.
Yes, they are at war. However, taking out this general won’t change the course of the war.

Yeah, he was.
So are a lot of Ukrainians.
Think that was my point.
When purchasing the scooter at Walmart he was captured on video using his credit card.
The brand was founded in China but has multiple overseas warehouses across Europe, including in Russia.
Russia is also one of its main exporting countries, according to the company's website.
The Russians identified, found and arrested Akhmadzhon Kurbonov in less than a day.
In his previous Musical Venue Terrorist Attack, Kurbonov did not supply, acquire or transport any materiel used in that attack, he just killed the kids.
Money well spent.

Maybe the FBI and Secret Service can hire the Russians to track down and provide to the public information on who owned the white van with Arizona plates that was associated with the Butler, Pennsylvania assassin(s).
Just sayin’.
