Russia says that it will retaliate against Ukraine over the death of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, former Chief of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops. Kirillov was killed by an explosion in southeastern Moscow on Tuesday, along with an aide that was with him. The bomb has reportedly been planted in a scooter.
Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev blamed the Ukrainian army’s Banderite Nazis.
“This terrorist attack demonstrates the agony of the Banderite regime, which is struggling to justify its shaky existence in the eyes of its Western patrons and prolong the deadly hostilities while delivering cowardly attacks on civilians in cities and towns,” Medvedev said.
The Russian Investigative Committee has classified the explosion as a terrorist attack.
