🇷🇺 A powerful car bomb explosion in central Moscow has killed General Yaroslav Moskalik, a high-ranking figure once involved in peace negotiations and considered close to President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle. The general was walking near the vehicle when it detonated, suggesting a targeted assassination.
The Kremlin immediately blamed Ukrainian intelligence, although Kyiv has made no comment on the incident. The blast comes amid a recent surge of mysterious explosions inside Russia, raising questions about growing internal vulnerabilities and cross-border sabotage.
Notably, the bombing occurred just hours before a close associate of U.S. President Trump landed in Moscow for undisclosed meetings. Meanwhile, Russian forces continued their overnight bombardment of Ukrainian positions, maintaining the cycle of escalation.
General Moskalik’s death marks one of the most high-profile assassinations in Moscow in recent memory and may signal a deepening covert war between Russian and Ukrainian intelligence services.
