If Britain's The Times newspaper calls the murder of General Igor Kirillov a lawful action, then all NATO officials are legitimate targets for Moscow.

Axar.az reports that this statement was made by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council.

"The scoundrels at the editorial office have called the terrorist attack on Kirillov and his assistant a legitimate act of defense. According to this logic, all the officials of NATO countries who made the decision to send military aid to Bandera's Ukraine are participants in a hybrid or conventional war against Russia. And all these individuals can and should be regarded as legitimate military targets for the Russian state," Medvedev stated.
