The assassination of Russian Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov was aimed at sowing fear and hatred, writes The Telegraph correspondent James Kilner in an article under the headline Ukraine humiliated Putin on his doorstep at a difficult time.
The publication draws attention to the publication of the Telegram channel Baza, connected to the Russian special services, which admitted that the attack “under the nose of the Kremlin” has become a disgrace. The propaganda channel Rybar, with 1.3 million subscribers, wrote that the killing had a negative effect on the “moral spirit” of the Russian occupiers in particular, and complained that “you can’t relax at all.” Other so-called military personnel began to question the competence of the Russian special services.
As stated in the article, Kirillov was hated in the West for spreading the Kremlin’s lie that the United States runs factories for the “production of chemical weapons” in Ukraine and Georgia. The Telegraph notes that over the past few months, Russia has eliminated high-ranking commanders of the Air Force, Navy and Ground Forces.

“In many ways, Kyrylov’s assassination appears to be the culmination of Ukraine’s flamboyant assassination program — a systematic process that killed high-ranking propagandists, officials, journalists, scientists, and military personnel who collaborated with Russia, in Russia and in the occupied territories of Ukraine. The killers’ favorite tools were bombs hidden under cars, in scooters and vanity busts, and some targets were shot,” the newspaper writes.
The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, Dmytro Medvedev, after the liquidation of Kirillov, demanded immediate revenge. According to analysts, the killings are unnerving the Kremlin, and “known for his paranoia” Putin and his henchmen will be looking around, the article said.
The Telegraph also quotes Nigel Gould Davies, a senior fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, as saying that Ukraine’s ability to attack a sitting general in Moscow deeply perplexes Russian elites. He also said it was the most significant killing of its kind to date.
