(TheRedAlertNews.com) – In an explosive turn in the enduring Russia-Ukraine war, Ukraine has admitted to the assassination of Russia’s General Igor Kirillov, raising concerns of potential major fallout.

His death in Moscow raises questions about his activities regarding chemical weaponry and triggers the possibility of significant Russian vengeance.
The death of such a pivotal player may further destabilize Russian military efforts.
Lt. General Igor Kirillov, a high-caliber military officer in charge of Russia’s biological and chemical weapons unit, perished in an explosion in the heart of Moscow.
This strategic hit was executed when a bomb, craftily installed in a scooter, detonated remotely.
Ukrainian security sources assert that the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) orchestrated the operation.
Kirillov was accused of ordering the use of prohibited chemical weapons against Ukrainian forces several times, a claim that has now reached its violent conclusion.
Russia’s Investigative Committee is treating this as a terrorist attack, while Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, vowed that Ukraine’s leaders would face retribution.
Medvedev accused Ukraine of using the attack to misdirect from its military failures.
“Kirillov was a war criminal and an absolutely legitimate target, since he gave orders to use prohibited chemical weapons against the Ukrainian military,” said an informed source in the SBU, cited by CBS News.
Kirillov’s track record includes using chemical weapons over 4,800 times since Russia’s invasion, resulting in serious implications.
This pattern of behavior earned his division sanctions from the U.S., U.K., and Canada.
The U.S. State Department voiced concerns over spreading disinformation about biological weapons, warning of potentially provocative operations by Russia.
Given the escalation, analysts predict that Ukrainian forces strategically targeted Kirillov to fracture Russian command structures and degrade their defensive capabilities.
This attack comes immediately after Ukraine’s security service filed criminal charges against him. Despite Kirillov’s accusations against Ukraine, the global community largely dismissed his claims as baseless propaganda.
The demise of Kirillov, a man at the helm of Russia’s biological and chemical defenses, brings to the forefront the volatile nature of military engagements in the region.
It highlights the desperation and resolve within Ukraine to deter further aggression.
