The Russian general senior killed by car in Moscow

A Russian general was killed during a car attack in Moscow, managed officials.

The Russia Inquiry Committee (SK) – The main federal investigation authority in the country – has confirmed General Yaroslav Moskalik who died when a Golf car in Volkswagen exploded after an improvised explosive apparatus filled with granules.

The local media reported that the car was parked next to the general’s house in the eastern suburbs of Balashikha and exploded while passing it.

Russian Ministry of Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova described murder as a “terrorist attack”, without providing more details, according to Russian telegram Smotri.

Moskalik represented the general staff of Russia in talks with Ukraine in Paris in 2015, which led to the Minsk agreements to end the war between Ukraine and the separatist forces supported by Russia who started in 2014.

According to the Kremlin website, he joined the Russian contingent led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergey Lavrov and the Kremlin assistant and the former Russian ambassador to the United States, Yuri Ushakov, for these cease-up talks.

Friday, videos and photos circulating on Telegram show a car in flames outside an apartment block. No one has yet claimed the responsibility of the car.

In politics, Ukraine does not admit or officially claims the responsibility of targeted attacks such as that which killed General Moskalik.

But anonymous sources in the Ukrainian security services have already declared to the media, including the BBC, that they had been behind similar assassinations, such as the murder of General Igor Kirillov in December 2024. The appointed officials, however, never faced the file.

In Russia, there does not seem to be a force arranged and capable of carrying out such attacks.

The incident comes when the Special President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for interviews in central Moscow later on Friday.

Lavrov declared earlier that Moscow was “ready to conclude an agreement” with the United States to end the Ukraine War, although certain elements were to be “refined”.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine, the mayor of kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, suggested that his country may have to give a territory within the framework of any peace agreement.

Drone attacks against Ukraine continued overnight until Friday.

The Air Force of Ukraine said that Russia had launched 103 drones, who killed three people, including a 76 -year -old child, in the city of Pavlohrad, in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

The northeast of Kharkiv, Ukraine, was also attacked with its mayor, Ihor Terekhov, saying that several private buildings had been damaged.
