Yes and his second in command also.

Almost looks like something very hard to do.

Some one is sending a message.

He was always drunk anyway so not much use on the buttons

The video suggests that, in his role of chief of Russia's Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, Igor was also likely to have been the person who authorised the Salisbury nerve agent operation in 2018, so no tears outside Russia, and its lacky shills, will be shed.  

 

 

And further reporting:

 

"A top Russian general accused by Ukraine of being responsible for the use of chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops was assassinated in Moscow by Ukraine's SBU intelligence service on Tuesday morning in the most high-profile killing of its kind.
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, who was chief of Russia's Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, was killed outside an apartment building along with his assistant when a bomb hidden in an electric scooter went off, Russia's Investigative Committee, which probes serious crimes, said".

There seems to be a pattern emerging.  Yesterday I posted a video of the recent fuel train attack in occupied Ukraine, where it was suggested that partisans had been the ones who placed explosives on the line so as to derail the train prior to it coming under HIMARS and drone attack.  Other recent events include:

 

Mon, December 9: "The former head of a notorious prison in Russian-occupied Ukraine has reportedly been killed in a car blast in Donetsk, in what is being seen as the latest in a series of attacks on pro-Kremlin figures in occupied land.

Ukrainian media say that Sergei Yevsyukov, 49, was killed in a blast from an explosive device planted under his car, with one outlet reporting that the bomb was equivalent to about 100g of TNT".

Fri, December 13: "A senior Russian official who worked at a company that designs drones and missiles was killed in a Ukrainian operation near Moscow, according to reports.

A source in Ukraine's security services told Ukrainian outlet Pravda that Mikhail Shatsky was assassinated in a special operation by Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, the country's military intelligence service".

Tuesday, December 17: "Russian pilot Dmitry Golenkov, who participated in Moscow's full-scale war against Ukraine, was found dead in the town of Suponevo in Bryansk Oblast on Oct. 20, Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) reported.

According to the agency, Golenkov suffered multiple head injuries, probably caused by a hammer".

This man piloted a bomber which intentionally targeted a row of residential apartments and restaurants.

Russian high-ranking pilot found dead in Bryansk Oblast, military intelligence says

 

As the BBC story says "... the latest in a series of attacks on pro-Kremlin figures in occupied land", these are becoming regular events, with the bombing of this general being the first, and hopefully not the last, to occur in Moscow.  It's getting to be like an advent calendar. Open another window to see which Russian butcher was killed today.  Russia's war criminal pigeons are coming home to roost.

If they can get to someone so near the top, why can't they go one better?

IMHO they are leaving Putin to be dealt with by the Russians themselves, and the ICJ. I also think that Putin will get more paranoid and less trusting of the people that surround him.

 

If you go back in history to 1984, Indira Gandhi was assassinated by 2 of her own handpicked bodyguards.

 

Judging by the number of generals trusted by Putin who died of "unnatural" causes, Putin must be extremely paranoid by now.

 

These are just my thoughts and opinions.

ICJ will not deal with Putin., nor with Russia.

Gandhi's killers were facilitated by Gandhi's own sloppiness and fears, failings that will not be repeated by Putin. The Sikhs in her personal security detail were supposed to be removed, but Gandhi refused, for fear of further alienating sikhs. Nor should she have gone for a walk in the manner that she did such that she would be in close proximity to the guard post where her 2 killers were located.Putin is ex KGB and experienced in covert operations. He is no fool.

On any scale of natural justice, I think most rational people would agree that Putin's immediate demise would be a positive thing for Ukraine, Russia and the world. 

The question is though, who would replace him, and would be be better or worse? Kadyrov?

Russia detains Uzbek man over general's killing in Moscow

 

Russia's security service says a 29-year-old man from Uzbekistan has been detained over the killing of senior general Igor Kirillov and his assistant in Moscow.

Lt Gen Igor Kirillov, head of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Forces, was outside a residential block early on Tuesday when an explosive device hidden in a scooter was detonated remotely.

The Russian security service said the unnamed suspect was recruited by Ukrainian intelligence, according to state media agencies.

You mean, if the bomb didn't, his drink driving would?

Obvious really the IRA has sent instructors and set up a training camp in Ukraine so Guiness has had to send supplies which explains why there is a Guinness shortage in England.
