A view of the blast scene, which killed the commander of Russian armed
forces’ chemical, biological and radiation defence troops, Igor
Kirillov, and his assistant, according to the Russian Investigative
Committee, outside a residential building on Ryazansky Avenue in Moscow
on December 17, 2024. After Ukraine accused Russia of using banned chemical weapons on the battlefield, the director of Russia’s Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological weapons defense unit was murdered on Tuesday in a bombing outside a Moscow apartment building.
Additionally, other surfacing reports stated that the bomb was strategically planted in an electric scooter. Igor Kirillov, 54, was “found guilty of war crimes on Monday by Ukraine’s top internal security agency, the SBU,” for employing “banned chemical weapons” against Ukrainian soldiers engaged in combat. Despite Kyiv not “formally” taking credit for the murder, a Ukrainian law enforcement official told the outlet Politico that the SBU was directly involved in the assassination, according to Forbes.
Meanwhile, Douglas Macgregor, a retired U.S. Army Colonel Combat Veteran and a former advisor to the Secretary of Defense, posted on X in regards to the news. However, his claims have not yet been confirmed. In October, Kirillov and other Russian government officials were also sanctioned by the U.K. government for purportedly using chemical weapons against Ukrainian forces. Kirillov was subject to an asset freeze and a travel ban as part of the sentence. U.K. officials commented on the news of the assassination.
Additionally, a slew of other social media users chimed in and expressed their own theories on X. However, The Intercept, a politically far-left outlet, according to the AllSides political bias meter, claimed in 2022 that ten Russian biologists came out against their own government and argued otherwise.
