Russian security forces say they have detained a Ukrainian agent accused of killing a top Russian general with a car bomb near Moscow.
Russian security forces say they have detained a Ukrainian spy accused of killing a senior Russian general in a car bomb attack on Friday.
The Kremlin blamed Ukraine for the death of 59-year-old Yaroslav Moskalik, deputy head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces. Kyiv has not officially commented on Moskalik’s death.
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) identified the suspect as Ignat Kuzin, alleging he was an agent of the Ukrainian special services. The FSB said Kuzin rigged Moskalik’s car with a homemade explosive device, which was detonated remotely from Ukraine.
Moskalik was killed in the town of Balashikha, east of Moscow, just hours before U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, met with President Vladimir Putin to discuss the possibility of direct talks between Russia and Ukraine.
