After the fatal attack on General Igor Kirillov in Moscow with an explosive device on an e-scooter, an arrest was made: an Uzbek man admitted to planting the bomb on behalf of the Ukrainian secret service, according to the Russian Investigative Agency.
The man, born in 1995, lives ‘in a European country’. He traveled to Moscow for the attack and was promised $100,000 (95,265.31 euros) for the crime.
Perpetrators recruited via courier service
The media reported two suspects who were arrested after monitoring surveillance cameras. The reports in the newspapers “Kommersant” and “Izvestia” and the portal “RBK” mentioned the alleged organizers of the attack. They recruited the perpetrators through courier services and brought them into contact with the Ukrainian secret service SBU. This too could not be verified.
Russia also wants to make Kirillov’s killing an issue in the UN Security Council, as Moscow Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday. “We will find and punish Kirillov’s killers,” she stressed.
Adjutant was also killed
Kirillov, head of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Weapons Protection Forces, was killed by an explosive device outside his home in Moscow on Tuesday morning. His adjutant also died. Russian investigators spoke of terror and immediately assumed it was an act of the Ukrainian secret services. In Kiev, the SBU unofficially said the attack was its fault.
