The special envoy for Ukraine and Russia appointed by newly-elected US President Donald Trump has criticized the bombing of Russian General Igor Kirillov. “There are rules of warfare, and there are certain things you just shouldn’t do,” Keith Kellogg told Fox Business on Thursday.
Although a general on the battlefield is a legitimate target, a targeted attack on “non-combatants” – that is, people outside the active combat – represents a violation of these rules “If you (…) kill generals in their hometown, then you have such an expansion,” Kellogg said.
He described the attack as “not really smart,” but also emphasized that he did not consider it a military setback. “If you hire a mercenary to do that, I don’t think that’s a good idea at all,” he said. ‘But this is war. And war is ugly.”
The Russian secret service detains suspect
Kirillov was killed by an explosive device in Moscow on Tuesday. The ABC’s head of the Russian Armed Forces had gained notoriety in the Russian capital, for example for his media-wide accusations that Kiev and Washington maintained laboratories for the production of biological weapons in Ukraine, but also for alleged plans to develop a so-called weapons system drop. so-called dirty weapon bomb enriched with radioactive material. He was accused of being involved in the use of chemical warfare agents against Ukrainian soldiers. In addition to Kirillov, his adjutant also died.
The Russian secret service FSB has now arrested a suspect. The man, an Uzbek, is said to have already confessed to an acquaintance and stated that he had been hired by the Ukrainian secret service.
