The UN refrained from condemning the terrorist attack against Kirillov in Moscow

The United Nations (UN) office did not condemn or directly comment on the terrorist attack in Moscow, which killed the head of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Forces (RCBZ), Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov and his assistant. This was reported on December 17 by the representative of the UN Secretary General Stephane Dujarric.

He noted that the world organization is aware of the incident that led to the death of two Russian servicemen.

"We call on all parties to the terrorist attack to exercise restraint and refrain from actions that could lead to further escalation of tensions," he said at a briefing.

Earlier in the day, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova pointed to the lack of Western reaction to the attack, except for statements by the Financial Times and the BBC. In her opinion, both publications act as a mouthpiece of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).

Igor Kirillov and his assistant were killed on the morning of December 17 when an explosive device was detonated in a scooter parked next to their entryway. The explosion occurred near a seven-story apartment building on Ryazansky Avenue in Moscow. A criminal case on murder, terrorist act and illegal trafficking of weapons (Art. 105, Art. 205 and Art. 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) was initiated on the fact of the incident.

Zakharova drew attention to the fact that Kirillov had been systematically exposing Western crimes for many years, working fearlessly and never hiding behind the backs of others. For his part, Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry's ambassador-at-large for Ukraine 's crimes, noted that the general cited evidence that was threatening and painful for Russia's adversaries.

The governor of the Kostroma region, Sergey Sitnikov, said that Kirillov had warned that he was being hunted. The head of the region linked this to the fact that the lieutenant general was leading an investigation into secret biological laboratories in Ukraine, among other places. Sitnikov is confident that Kirillov's murder will be solved and the perpetrators will be punished.
