    Gen Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in April when a car exploded next to his house in Moscow. The Kremlin blamed Ukraine, which did not comment.

    Ukraine not even bothering with a response, just silently crippling our enemy’s offense. Mature af

        Yeah, I’m in the same boat. I believe this is more as Propaganda direct from Putin.

        Unless this guy was a dissenting general, doesn’t make a lot of sense from a propaganda perspective. Too costly.

          It’s not like they’ve been bringing home the bacon. Would not surprise me if they’ve been telling lies about how well the campaign is going.

      No matter who did it, this is the correct response. If they aren’t responsible, other Russian leaders will still suspect they are and live in fear of it happening to them. If they are responsible, they’ll still suspect that it was the Kremlin, or someone else in Russia, and live in fear. Ukraine taking responsibility or not reduces the amount of fear they might have.

      Get real, there is a 100% chance this is just the Kremlin dealing with difference of opinion and this guy was smart enough to not stay above the ground floor of a hotel.
