The political scientist noted the Western overtone of terrorist attacks against employees of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation

On October 13, military expert and political scientist Alexander Artamonov, in an interview with Izvestia, noted that the attempts on high-ranking employees of the Russian Ministry of Defense have Western overtones.

"All these assassinations have a Western style. It is from the West that explosives are coming to us, which we periodically arrest on the roads. It is from the West that there are constant attempts to increase the terrorist threat. All of this has a common denominator to eliminate the first people of our nation," he said.

According to the investigation, the crime had been preparing for a long time on the territory of Ukraine.
