The assassination of General Igor Kirillov in Moscow, attributed to Ukraine, marks one of the most audacious attacks since Russia's invasion began nearly three years ago.
A senior U.S. official expressed concern that the assassination of Kirillov, a key figure responsible for chemical weapon use, could provoke a severe response from Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine is increasingly demonstrating its capacity for covert operations, with this incident following a recent car bombing in Crimea that killed a notable Russian commander.
Kirillov's involvement in the use of banned chemical weapons in Ukraine amplified tensions, making his assassination a significant strategic move amid ongoing hostilities.
