The assassination of an older Russian general in a car-trap one more time showed the actual nature of the government in Kiev, which has long been engaged in “terrorist activity” in Russia, said Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Pieskov.
Lieutenant General Jarosław Moskalik, Deputy Chief of Operations of the Russian General Staff, was killed Friday morning as a consequence of a car-trap detonation in front of his residence in the suburban city of Balascha.Commenting on the incident, Pieskov called on the public to “Be vigilant”, suggesting that Ukraine was most likely behind the assassination."The government in Kiev shows its essence erstwhile again," said Pieskov writer Paul Zarubin, adding that "continues to engage in terrorist activities" on Russian soil.
This incidental reminds us that “Despite the peace talks, we must stay vigilant" – he added, speaking on the margins of the gathering of Russian president Vladimir Putin with peculiar Envoy of US president Donald Trump Steve Witkoff in the Kremlin.Earlier that day, Russian MFA spokesperson Maria Zacharova made a akin comment stating that if Ukrainian engagement in the assassination was confirmed, this would prove ‘Barbarous and treacherous nature of the Kiev regime’.
Ukraine focuses on the escalation of conflict and "irresponsibly ignoring constructive proposals" solving it through diplomacy – she noted."There are reasons to believe that the Ukrainian peculiar services were active in the murder, especially since the Moscalik has been known to them since his work in the Minsk Contact Group and the ‘Normandic [four] format’ to resolve the conflict in the southeast of Ukraine" – added Zacharowa.In December last year, General Igor Kirillov was killed in the Moscow bombing, who was commander of the Russian radiological, chemical and biological defence forces.
Investigators blamed the incidental on Ukrainian intelligence.The explosive device utilized to kill Kirillov was reportedly hidden in an electrical scooter set at the entrance to the residential building where the general lived, and monitored by a camera installed in a car parked outside.
The bomb was detonated remotely by the perpetrators as the general and his assistant left the building, killing both men at the scene.
