The evidence cited by Lieutenant-General Igor Kirillov, head of the radiation, chemical and biological defense troops of the Russian Armed Forces (AF) who died in Moscow as a result of a terrorist attack, was threatening and painful for Russia's opponents. This was stated on December 17 by Rodion Miroshnik, Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry for the crimes of Ukraine.

"What General Kirillov was talking about and what evidence he was citing turned out to be too painful and threatening for 'someone'!" - Miroshnik wrote in his Telegram channel.

The death of Igor Kirillov and his assistant became known earlier in the day. The men died as a result of the detonation of an explosive device planted in a scooter standing next to the entrance. The explosion occurred near a seven-story apartment building on Ryazansky Avenue in Moscow. A criminal case of murder, terrorist act and illegal arms trafficking (Articles 105, 205 and 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) was opened over the incident.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova noted that Igor Kirillov had been systematically exposing Western crimes for many years, working fearlessly and never hiding behind the backs of others. He fought for the Motherland and for the truth, the diplomat concluded.

Vice-speaker of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev called the incident a shock and irreplaceable loss. He expressed condolences to the families of the victims and said that the killers would be punished beyond any doubt and without mercy.
