As the source stated on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to publicly comment on the topic, the scooter with explosives was detonated when Kyrylov and his assistant entered the entrance of the house on Ryazansky prospect in Moscow.
“Kyrilov was a war criminal and a completely legal target, as he gave orders to use prohibited chemical weapons against the Ukrainian military,” the SBU said.
Earlier, the Investigative Committee of Russia confirmed the death of Kirillov and his assistant as a result of an explosion in Moscow. According to the version of the investigation, the explosive device was planted in a scooter standing next to the entrance.
Kirillov was 54 years old. He has held the post of chief of the radiation, chemical and biological defense forces of Russia since May 2017.
Lieutenant General Ihor Kyrylov was under the sanctions of Great Britain. He was accused of being involved in the use of chemical weapons in Ukraine and spreading disinformation.
Earlier, the US and its allies concluded that Russia used the poisonous substance chloropicrin against the Ukrainian military.
The day before, the Security Service of Ukraine informed that it had announced suspicion in absentia to the head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection forces of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Ihor Kyrylov.
Law enforcement officers noted that “it was he who was responsible for the use of chemical weapons by Russian troops on the eastern and southern fronts against Ukrainian defenders.”
