Russia claims a 29-year-old Uzbek national was offered a significant sum, $100,000, by Ukrainian forces to assassinate Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Protection Forces. The alleged assassination plot paints a picture of a meticulously planned operation, with the suspect allegedly receiving an improvised explosive device, planting it near Kirillov’s home, and using a remote camera to transmit live footage back to a Ukrainian control center.
