The Kremlin accused Ukraine of orchestrating the carbomb that killed a senior Russian military figure in a town near the city of Moscow Friday.
Russian authorities had launched a criminal inquiry into the death of Lt. Gen. Yaroslav Moskalik, spokesperson Svetlana Petrenko said in a statement Friday on behalf of the committee, which is Russia's main federal criminal investigations authority.
Moskalik was killed in the explosion of a Volkswagen Golf in the city of Balashikha following the “detonation of a homemade explosive device filled with shrapnel,” Petrenko added.
In an exchange with a reporter for Russian state media, Dmitry Peskov, spokesperson for the Kremlin, responded to a question about Ukraine's involvement in the blast.
“The Kyiv regime once again shows its nature,” Peskov said, accusing Ukraine of “terrorist activity,” though Moscow has not otherwise officially accused Ukraine of being behind the blast, and there is no other indication so far of this possibility.
