The aggressor country of russia announced that it had detained an Uzbek citizen for the murder of the head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection troops of the russian armed forces, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov.
This was reported by the British newspaper The Guardian with reference to the Investigative Committee of the russian federation on Wednesday, December 18.
According to the version of the russian so-called "investigation", a 29-year-old guy from Uzbekistan was allegedly recruited by Ukrainian special services and promised USD 100,000 and residence in a European country so that he would plant a bomb to kill the general. In the video, a man in handcuffs says that he supposedly came to Moscow on the orders of Ukrainian special services, bought an electric scooter, and then received a homemade explosive device in order to carry out the attack a few months later.
"He describes how he placed the device on an electric scooter that he parked near the entrance of the apartment building, where Kirillov lived. He installed a surveillance camera in a rented car nearby and the organizers of the murder, who, according to him, were in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, used the camera to watch what was happening," the material says.
The guy said that he remotely detonated the device when Kirillov left the building. Russian security forces reported that they had detained the "suspect" in the village of Chornoe, Balashykha district of Moscow.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on December 17, sources in the SSU said that the detonation of the head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection troops of the russian armed forces, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, was a special operation by the SSU.
