The assassination of Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, a pivotal military leader in charge of nuclear and chemical weapons, signifies a striking political event post-invasion.
A 29-year-old Uzbek man was detained by Russian authorities, who confessed that he was recruited by Ukrainian intelligence to execute the bombing against Kirillov.
This shocking assassination has instilled fear among Russia’s military and political classes, particularly in light of Kirillov's controversial role concerning chemical warfare.
While the killing of Kirillov may create an atmosphere of uncertainty within Russia’s defense circles, it does not seem to alter the ongoing course of the war.
