09:08 18.12.2024 (Updated: 11:36 18.12.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The perpetrator of the terrorist attack that killed Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the head of the Troops of Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defense of the Russian armed forces, recruited by the Ukrainian special services, has been detained, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Wednesday.
Kirillov and his aide
were killed in a bomb blast in Moscow early on Tuesday, the Russian Investigative Committee said. An official with Ukraine's security service SBU confirmed to The New York Times that Ukraine was responsible for the killings.
"As a result of operational and investigative activities conducted jointly with the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian Investigative Committee, the Russian Federal Security Service has identified and detained a citizen of Uzbekistan, born in 1995, who detonated a homemade explosive device near a residential building on Ryazanskiy Prospekt in Moscow, which resulted in the death of ... Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, born in 1970, and his assistant, Major I.V. Polikarpov, born in 1983," the FSB said in a statement.
The perpetrator said he had been
recruited by Ukrainian special services, adding that on their instructions he arrived in Moscow, received a powerful homemade explosive device and placed it on an electric scooter parked near the entrance to Kirillov's residential building.
To monitor the address where the general lived, he said that he rented a car and installed a Wi-Fi video camera in it, transmitting the image to the organizers in Ukraine.
"For the murder of the Russian serviceperson, the citizen of Uzbekistan was promised a reward of $100,000 and a trip to live in one of the EU countries by the Ukrainian special services," the statement read.
The detained person faces punishment of up to life imprisonment, the FSB said, adding that Ukrainian special services officers involved in organizing the terrorist attack will be found and punished.
Furthermore, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Tuesday that Kirillov's assassination was the result of the West's approval of
Kiev's war crimes."The terrorist attack in Moscow was a continuation and development of the spiral of West's approval of the war crimes of the Kiev regime's militants, which they have been spinning all these years," Zakharova said on Telegram.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has noted a lack of reaction "from abroad" to Kirillov's assassination, the spokeswoman said, adding that all those who welcome terrorist attacks or deliberately keep silent about them are accomplices.
