https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/russian-general-kirillov-moscow-explosion-ukraine-12-17-24-intl/index.htmlA video obtained by CNN shows the moments before Russian general Igor Kirillov and his assistant were killed in a Moscow explosion.In the video, which was obtained from a source with knowledge of the operation allegedly carried out by Ukraine’s security services, both men can be seen leaving a residential building, with one of the men carrying what appears to be a box in one hand and a briefcase in the other.Though the video is slightly blurry, the outline of what appears to be a scooter can be seen close to the building’s exit, parked to the right of the door.Both men were killed by an explosive device planted in an electric scooter, according to the Russian investigative committee.Those in the video seem to be walking towards a waiting car, which is a few meters in front of the door with its headlights on. Before they can reach it, the explosive detonates, and the screen flashes white.
>>1369066Surely Putin will hold a day of national remembrance.
>>1369066I hope they just off Putin one of these days. I wonder who would take his spot. Russia would certainly be thrown into a lot of chaos at his sudden death.
>>1369098Why can't Putin assassinate Zelensky? Too difficult or are National leaders off limits?
>>1369118modern wars seem to be mostly theatrics for Satan or some opaque glowing shit
>>1369118He's assassinated several Ukrainian commanders already. the latest one was head of Ukrainian intelligence. Iirc some point in this last year he did try to off Zelensky with a drone by hitting his house but it was shot down... Or that could have been one of the muzzies trying to kill netanyahu, I forget which one it was, I didn't pay too much attention
>>1369130Who's the highest profile Ukrainian commander that was assassinated? I haven't heard of this.
>>1369132>Who's the highest profile Ukrainian commander that was assassinated?Idk I don't really follow it too much, just happened to read that some intelligence commander was offed a couple weeks ago >haven't heard of thisYeah, English news doesn't report on Ukrainian losses very often, I saw it on the news while traveling to Italy. Im sure you can just Google "Ukrainian intelligence commander killed" and find out his name
>>1369136>>1369132Just Googled it, the guy i read about was:>Intelligence commander of the 8th separate mountain assault battalion, Major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vitaliy Kuznetsov
>>1369118Incompetence mostly. It's the same reason why what should've been a 2 week invasion has turned into years of quagmire. Russia doesn't know how to fight in the 21st century and isn't properly equipping their soldiers. The fact that a former super power is being held back by newbie soldiers with hand-me-down and leftover coldwar armaments is telling.
>>1369138died in battle
>>1369118he tried
>>1369132>>1369136>>1369138Kuznetsov was just an officer. A dead officer is hardly news in a war. I don't think Russia managed to kill any high profile Ukrainians, I'm sure they'd love to though
