Moscow detains ‘Ukrainian agent' for car bombing death of Russian general
April 27 (UPI) -- A man alleged to have been recruited by a Ukrainian intelligence agency has been arrested by Russia's Federal Security Service, or FSB, in connection with the car bombing death of a Russian general last week. Ignat Kuzin, a 41-year-old resident of Ukraine, was arrested by the FSB and accused of planting an explosive device that killed Russian General Yaroslav Moskalik on Friday, the Russian agency said in a news release. The FSB is the successor agency of Soviet Union's KGB and operates as a blend between a spy agency and secret police. Its officers arrested Kuzin and delivered him to the Russia's Investigative Committee, its top investigative body for criminal prosecution. Kuzin was accused buying a Volkswagen Golf in the city of Balashikha, near Moscow, and planting an improvised explosive device inside. The blast killed Moskalik, the deputy head of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, as he was leaving his apartment. Russian officials said the IED was triggered remotely from Ukrainian territory. Kuzin is being investigated for possible charges of terrorism and the illegal storage of explosive substances or explosive devices.

Suspect in killing of Russian general 'pleads guilty'
A man suspected of killing a Russian general with a car bomb has pleaded guilty to terrorism charges and says he was paid by the Ukrainian Security Service, Russian authorities say. The Investigative Committee said Ignat Kuzin admitted he was paid to kill Lieutenant General Yaroslav Moskalik, a deputy head of the main operational department in the General Staff of the Russian armed forces. Moskalik was killed on Friday by a bomb in his car in Balashikha, just outside Moscow. Ukrainian authorities did not comment on the attack, the second in four months targeting a top Russian military officer that the Kremlin has blamed on Ukraine amid the conflict between the neighbouring countries. Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov was killed on December 17, 2024, when a bomb hidden on an electric scooter parked outside his apartment building exploded as he left for his office. Ukraine's security agency acknowledged it was behind the attack. Kirillov was the chief of Russia's Radiation, Biological and Chemical Protection Forces, the special troops tasked with protecting the military from the enemy's use of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons and ensuring operations in a contaminated environment. Kirillov's assistant also died in the attack. Kirillov was under sanctions from several countries, including the United Kingdom and Canada, for his actions in the fighting in Ukraine.
