The assassination of Chief of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops Lieutenant-General Igor Kirillov and his aide as a planned terrorist attack made possible by the West’s connivance of the crimes of the Kyiv regime.

Axar.az reports that this statement was made by Maria Zakharova, the official spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

She noted that General Igor Kirillov and his aide were killed in a planned manner; they were murdered near a residential building during a time when people were heading to work, and children were going to school and kindergarten.

According to the diplomat, that the attack represented "a continuation and development of the spiral of Western connivance of the war crimes of the Kyiv regime's militants, which they have been exacerbating all these years.

She also mentioned that Kirillov had been added to Ukraine's “Peacemaker” ("Миротворец") database, which holds information about many other victims of the Kyiv regime, two and a half years ago.

We've been sounding the alarm about this for years. But America's satellites are silent. And the Peacemaker website is supported by the United States. As at one time, the sites of terrorists operating in the North Caucasus were located in Northern Europe.

It should be noted that yesterday morning, an explosion in Moscow resulted in the death of General-Lieutenant Igor Kirillov, the commander of the Russian Armed Forces' radiation, chemical, and biological defense troops. There are reports that he was killed in a plot orchestrated by Ukraine's Military Intelligence.
