A suspect has been arrested in connection with the murder of a senior Russian general in Moscow.
The suspect, who has not been identified by name, is a male citizen of the Republic of Uzbekistan, according to the Russian Federal Security Service.
He is accused of blowing off an explosive device outside a Moscow apartment building on Tuesday, killing Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov and his aide, Maj. I.V. Polikarpov.
The suspect claimed that he was recruited by Ukrainian special services to carry out the attack, which the agency claimed credit for, according to Russia’s Federal Security Service in a statement.
The FSB said that on instructions from Ukraine, the suspect “arrived in Moscow, received a high-power homemade explosive device, and placed it on an electric scooter, which he parked near the entrance to the house of [General Igor] Kirillov.”
The statement added that the suspect had been given $100,000 for the killing as well as residency in a European country.
The suspect faces life in prison for his alleged crime.
Kirillov, 54, is the highest-level Russian military officer to be killed in an apparent assassination since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Kirillov’s assassination came a day after the SBU reported that Ukrainian prosecutors filed a charge against him, accusing him of being responsible for the use of chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops during the war started by Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
The SBU has said Russian forces have used chemical weapons almost 5,000 times during the war in Ukraine under Kirillov’s leadership. The claim could not be independently verified.
The RKhBZ are special forces who operate under conditions of radioactive, chemical, and biological contamination.
Kirillov is one of a number of Russian officers and pro-war figures to be killed in Russia and in Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine.
His death came a week after a senior official from a Russian company that develops cruise missiles used by Moscow in the war was reportedly shot dead just outside the capital.
