Zelenskyy admitted that it was Ukraine that assassinated the Russian military senior official.
On the evening of April 28 local time, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy stated on X platform that he had listened to the reports from the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service and the head of the Ukrainian Security Service, and admitted to the "elimination operation" against some senior commanders of the Russian Armed Forces, which was considered related to the assassination attempt against Deputy Director of the Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Moskalik, on April 25.
The specific situation of the incident is as follows:
Incident process:
On April 25, a car explosion occurred in Balashikha City, Moscow Oblast, Russia. 59-year-old Major General Moskalik was killed by a remotely controlled car bomb attack at his doorstep.
