Suspect in killing of Russian general pleads guilty and claims he was paid by Ukraine, Russia says
The Washington Times ^ | April 27, 2025 | Associated Press

A man suspected of killing a Russian general with a car bomb pleaded guilty to terrorism charges and said he was paid by the Ukrainian Security Service charges, Russian authorities said Sunday.

The Investigative Committee said Ignat Kuzin admitted he was paid to kill Lt. Gen. Yaroslav Moskalik, a deputy head of the main operational department in the General Staff of the Russian armed forces.

Moskalik was killed Friday by a bomb in his car in Balashikha, just outside Moscow.

Ukrainian authorities did not comment on the attack, the second in four months targeting a top Russian military officer that Moscow has blamed on Ukraine amid the conflict between the neighboring countries.

Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov was killed on Dec. 17, 2024, when a bomb hidden on an electric scooter parked outside his apartment building exploded as he left for his office. Ukraine’s security agency acknowledged it was behind the attack.

All is fair in love and war. Expect some payback from the Russians in one form or another.

I imagine an information extraction specialist persuaded the suspect in remembering the details of his crime.

Stupid thing for Zelensky to do!
If Ukrainans are lucky, a bomb will be planted in the runt’s car.
Then they can have a ceasefire and hold elections.

Yes, he or she elicited a confession from the suspect.

Doesn’t necessarily mean he didn’t do it though.

The truth serums have been around since the 1940s. Generally declared unreliable over the years.

They probably were. Then. Do you really think Russia security and US security made no progress with drugs over 80 years of trying?

Looks like Ukraine is following the strategy the Israelis did after the Holocaust, tracking down the Nazi criminals.

This is why many fear for Donald Trumps safety.

They’ve tried twice and will try agina no doubt.

And many believe those are tied to the Ukraine. I

I cringe when he goes out in public. Its no doubt the globalists plan. Keep him holed up.

That didn't take the FSB very long.

I'd guess they kept a few KGB interrogators...

Electric scooters don’t need a bomb to go off.

No doubt, for many leftists it is quite literally matter of life and death.

Traitors are hanged.

They've tried three times. Don't forget the guy that tried to grab a USSS guy's gun out of his holster! That didn't take long to vanish from the news cycle did it?

When he pleaded after a few visits to the chief interrogator’s torture office, my bet is he would have pleaded guilty to poisoning a pope if that was asked.

By the time the Russians were done interrogating him, he would have blamed it on his mother if they wanted him to.

Z says and does nothing but stupid things.

Agree the Ukes need fair elections. OTOH, my new Ukrainian neighbors might go back then. I like them a lot, learning English quickly and we laugh about a lot of things.
