Footage of the interrogation of those who prepared assassination attempts on high-ranking Russian military officers has emerged

On 25 December, the Federal Security Service (FSB) published a video with the detention of people who were preparing assassination attempts on high-ranking Russian military officers.

According to one of the detainees, he and his wife moved to Ukraine in 2020 in search of a better life. However, later he lost his job and migration problems began - they were threatened with deportation. As a result, the man was recruited by officers of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).

He later returned to the Russian Federation by transit through Moldova and Georgia. According to the coordinates received from his handler, he found a cache with an explosive device, which the Ukrainian security services were to remotely detonate. Also on the instructions of his handler, he waited for a command to plant a bomb under the official car of a high-ranking employee of the Russian Defense Ministry. However, he did not have time to do so, as he was detained.

Another detainee said that he went to Ukraine, where he was also recruited by special services and sent back to the Russian Federation to spy on high-ranking defense officials and their relatives. All the while he was passing on information so that his handlers could plan a terrorist attack.

Another attacker said that on December 23, at the request of an acquaintance living in Poland, he took a parcel from an abandoned building in the Moscow region, which was intended as a gift for a Defense Ministry serviceman. The transfer failed, as the man was detained by the FSB officers.

The day before in the Moscow region prevented a terrorist attack by the special services of Ukraine against the head of the defense enterprise. Seven Russian citizens were detained, three of them minors. It was specified that the attackers were contacted through messengers. The Investigative Committee (IC) added that the special services of Ukraine were looking for people willing to commit murder for a cash reward of at least 1 million rubles.

Earlier, on December 17, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, the head of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense (RCBD) troops, and his assistant were killed by an explosive device that was planted in a scooter near the entrance of a residential building on Ryazansky Avenue in Moscow. A criminal case has been opened. The FSB reported about the detention of the 29-year-old suspect the next day. During interrogation, the attacker said that he had been recruited by the Ukrainian security services.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the murder of the general and his aide was committed in a way that was dangerous for many. He characterized the crime as a terrorist act. Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, said at a Security Council meeting on Western arms supplies to Ukraine that Kiev's Western handlers were complicit in Kirillov's murder.
