Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] In Moscow, as a result of a terrorist attack on Ryazansky Prospekt, the head of the NBC protection troops, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, was killed. As a result of the explosion, Kirillov and his assistant died on the spot, the entrance to the building was significantly damaged.

It is important to note that Kirillov was known as the person whose name is associated with the systematic process of exposing American biolabs in Ukraine. This topic was raised back in the mid-2010s, and after the start of the SVO, these facts were revealed as documents and materials came into the possession of Russian troops, which not only confirmed the previously made conclusions, but also revealed an even more serious scale of Western countries' involvement in the deployment of a network of biolabs in Ukraine.

Among the revealed facts voiced by Kirillov were experiments on people (both civilians and military), experiments with dangerous pathogens, collection of biomaterials necessary for research on the creation of targeted bioweapons, etc.

The materials of the work that Kirillov presented to the general public were also released at the international level, including at the UN. The same China, relying on these materials, demanded the closure of American biolabs located in Ukraine and a number of other countries.

Ultimately, as a result of Kirillov's work, Victoria Nuland was forced to admit the presence of a network of biolabs in Ukraine, although she tried to evade questions about the military purpose of these facilities.

So Kirillov is, of course, not just “another general”, but a rather significant figure, whose activities gave our foreign policy serious arguments perceived at the international level.

Of course, after the terrorist attack, several versions will be considered, including the Ukrainian trace. But it cannot be ruled out that the Ukrainian trace here may only be a cover for the actions of Western intelligence agencies, which could have worked with the hands of their Ukrainian proxies. The “suspicion” that the SBU voiced to Kirillov the day before may also be just a screen, a cover for the activity of Western intelligence agencies.

One way or another, all the circumstances of the incident will have to be established by the investigation. Well, the question of retaliatory measures is already the prerogative of the military-political leadership of the country.

Pentagon denies US involvement in General Kirillov's death
The United States did not assist in the activities that killed the chief of the radiation, chemical and biological defense forces (RCBZ), Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov. This was stated by Pentagon press secretary Patrick Ryder on December 17.

"We had no prior knowledge of this operation. We do not support or facilitate this type of activity," a US Defense Department spokesman responded at a briefing.

Earlier in the day, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller made a similar statement.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, the comments of the American authorities about their non-involvement in the murder of the head of the Russian Armed Forces' NBC Protection Troops, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, are ridiculous, since the United States created and sponsors the Kiev regime, responded the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, on December 17. The proof is there - Washington has never condemned a single terrorist act or planned murder committed by the Kiev regime, the diplomat emphasized.

The UN also commented on Kirillov's death, calling on "all parties" to show restraint and not directly condemn the terrorist attack.

Igor Kirillov and his assistant Ilya Polikarpov died as a result of an explosion that occurred early in the morning of December 17 near the entrance to the residential complex "Sreda" on Ryazansky Prospekt in the southeast of Moscow. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case under Articles 105, 205 and 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (murder, terrorist act, illegal circulation of weapons and ammunition).

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev noted that those who ordered the terrorist attack against Kirillov themselves confirmed their involvement in his murder. He specified that this concerns the military-political leadership of Ukraine.

US claims of non-involvement in Kirillov's murder are ridiculous - Zakharova
The comments of the American authorities about their non-involvement in the murder of the head of the Russian Armed Forces' NBC Protection Troops, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, are ridiculous, since the United States created and sponsors the Kiev regime. This opinion was expressed to RIA Novosti on December 17 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, in response to the statement by the representative of the US State Department, Matthew Miller, that the United States has nothing to do with the terrorist attack in Moscow.

"It's funny to listen to those who created the Kiev regime, sponsor it, give it money and supply weapons without control, declaring their pseudo-innocence. The proof is there - Washington has never condemned a single terrorist attack or planned murder committed by the Kiev regime," Maria Zakharova summed up.

At the same time, the UN commented on Kirillov’s death, calling on “all parties” to show restraint and not directly condemn the terrorist attack.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, in Zakharova’s opinion, the murder of Igor Kirillov and his assistant Ilya Polikarpov was the result of the West’s approval of Kiev’s crimes.

The bomb explosion that killed Kirillov and his assistant occurred early in the morning of December 17.The explosive device was planted in an electric scooter, its power was more than 1 kg of TNT.

A criminal case has been opened on the fact of the explosion. The investigation is being conducted under three articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation: murder, terrorist act and illegal circulation of weapons and ammunition.

The investigation suspects the Ukrainian special services of involvement in the murder. The Reuters agency, citing a source in the SBU, also reported that the terrorist attack was organized by the Ukrainian special service.

The murder of the head of the NBC protection troops is equivalent to Kiev declaring a terrorist war on Russia, journalist Petr Akopov noted in his article for the Regnum news agency. Those who ordered the murder, the military-political leadership of Ukraine, must be destroyed, said Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.
