"Despite the fact that the investigation has just begun, our enemies have already rushed to publish information about their involvement. In any case, the investigators must find the killers in Russia. And we must do everything to destroy the patrons who are in Kyiv. In any case, this is a very sad incident. I propose to honour the memory of our colleague, our comrade.", he said at a meeting of senior Russian officials.
