Reuters reports that a top Russian general accused by Ukraine of being responsible for the use of chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops was assassinated in Moscow by Ukraine’s SBU intelligence service on Tuesday morning near his residence.
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, 54, (pictured above) was chief of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops. He was killed outside an apartment building along with his assistant when a bomb hidden in an electric scooter went off, according to Russia’s top criminal Investigative Committee.
