The Guardian view on a Moscow assassination: Ukraine's justified strike and Russia's baseless outrage | Editorial
Briefly

The assassination of Lt Gen Igor Kirillov illustrates Ukraine’s enhanced capabilities and reflects a lawful act of self-defense under international law amid Russia's aggression.
Ukraine’s Security Service, SBU, successfully executed a targeted killing of a high-ranking Russian commander, highlighting Ukraine's strategic proficiency in countering ongoing attacks.
International law allows self-defense against armed attacks, and Kirillov was considered a valid target due to his alleged role in chemical warfare against Ukraine.
The incident signifies the gravity of the situation in which both Ukraine and Russia operate, with far-reaching implications for their ongoing conflict.
