(TheRedAlertNews.com) – In the midst of the bloody Russia-Ukraine war, the Kremlin has intensified tensions by labeling Ukraine a terrorist state after the killing of Russian General Igor Kirillov in Moscow.

This act, claimed by Ukraine’s SBU security service, has shocked Moscow residents and escalated the ongoing conflict significantly.
In Moscow, a rare assassination rattled the heart of Russia’s power, with the killing of Russian General Igor Kirillov and his aide.
The Kremlin immediately accused Ukraine of executing a terrorist attack, ratcheting up the long-simmering conflict between the two nations.
Russia’s Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case into the murder.
Kirillov, a key figure in Russia’s Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Defence Forces, met his end through a sophisticated bomb concealed in a scooter, detonated by remote control.
The explosive had the force of 300g of TNT—an intense strike illustrating the severity of these military confrontations.
Ukraine’s SBU security service acknowledged the attack, branding Kirillov a “legitimate target” due to his alleged war crimes.
Charged with the mass deployment of banned chemical weapons, Kirillov was under sanctions from several western nations, including a UK asset freeze and travel ban.
His elimination highlights Ukraine’s intensified targeting of senior Russian figures.
“The footage shows Gen. Kirillov and his aide exiting a building, with the infamous scooter standing nearby. The moment they enter the blast zone of the explosive device, the scooter is blown into the air, delivering a ‘verdict’ to the war criminal,” an SBU source told ABC News.
This assassination, unique in its precision, underscores the proximity and severity of the conflict now reaching Moscow.
As Kirillov was known for his extensive work with hazardous materials and for spreading disinformation, his death resonates as an apparent victory for Ukrainian operatives, shaking Russia’s internal security fabric.
Russian authorities, led by Krementsov, have launched a probe into this flagrant breach of security in their capital, alarmingly close to key political headquarters.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials claim this move as a needed measure to combat individuals like Kirillov who allegedly inflict warfare through unconventional means.
“Kirillov was a war criminal and an entirely legitimate target, as he issued orders to use prohibited chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops. Such an inglorious end awaits all those who kill Ukrainians. Retribution for war crimes is inevitable,” the SBU source added.
As the reverberations of this incident unfold, many wonder how Russia will retaliate against Ukraine for this bold provocation.
