A 35-year-old Ukrainian is said to be responsible for the murder of a Russian military blogger. The Moscow secret service FSB announced this on Thursday. He installed the explosive in a bust, which exploded, it was said. The Ukrainian government rejects the statement.
As reported, blogger Wladlen Tatarski, close to the Kremlin, was killed in a bomb attack in St. Petersburg on April 2. In addition, 50 people were injured. Recently, 40 people were injured.
In this context, a 26-year-old is already in custody. She admitted to offering the bust to Tatsarki in the café, according to video footage. But she would have assumed there was only a bug hidden. This was intended to intercept the blogger, who was reporting intensively on the war in Ukraine. The woman would not have committed the attack herself. According to the Moscow secret service, it has now identified a 35-year-old Ukrainian as the author.
Perpetrator would be in Turkey
He is said to have acted on behalf of the Ukrainian secret services and has already left Russia. On April 3, he flew to Turkey via Armenia, according to Moscow. Russian state media published personal documents and photos of the alleged perpetrator. The team led by imprisoned Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny also bears responsibility, FSB representatives said. Both Navalny’s confidants and the Kiev government have denied involvement in the murder. The secret service itself “turned off” this blogger, who also criticized the defense ministry’s warfare in Moscow, said Navalny confidant Ivan Zhdanov.
He and Leonid Volkov accused the Moscow secret service of committing years of political assassinations. The allegations against the opposition are sensitive in the sense that Navalny will soon have to answer in a new criminal case for extremism. Navalny could then be sentenced to the maximum sentence for terrorism, his team fears.
