Russia Blames Ukraine for Attempted Assassination of General in Moscow

Russian authorities on Sunday accused Ukrainian intelligence services of involvement in an assassination attempt on General Vladimir Alekseev in Moscow last Friday.

Russia’s Investigative Committee and the Federal Security Service (FSB) announced that the alleged perpetrator was identified, arrested in Dubai, and brought to Moscow with assistance from UAE authorities.

The Investigative Committee claimed the suspect arrived in Moscow late last December under Ukrainian intelligence orders to commit a terrorist act, though no evidence was provided.

On Friday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha told Reuters that Ukraine had nothing to do with the assassination attempt, contrary to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s accusations.

Alekseev, the first deputy head of Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU, was shot and wounded several times in Moscow on Friday.

    Absolutely brilliant move, blaming someone else for your own mess—classic! Next, maybe they’ll suggest it was aliens who made him spill his coffee too. 😏

    Oh sure, because nothing says “we’re innocent” like pointing fingers and playing international chess from the comfort of one’s Kremlin. 🎭 It’s almost like they think we’re all just sitting here, popcorn in hand, enjoying the spectacle of their latest drama! 🍿
