America’s admission of Ukraine’s role in the assassination of a Russian politician’s daughter.
American intelligence agencies believe that the Ukrainian government was involved in the attack that killed the daughter of a Russian politician.
The New York Times reported that American intelligence agencies believe that a part of the Ukrainian government authorized an attack that took place near Moscow in August and resulted in the death of the daughter of a person close to the Russian government.
“Daria Dugin”, the daughter of “Alexander Dugin”, one of the figures close to Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, died on August 30 due to a car explosion near Moscow.
American officials have claimed that Washington had no participation in carrying out this attack, either through providing information or through other assistance. They have claimed that they did not know about the planning for this murder, they would have opposed it if Ukraine consulted.
The US assessment of Ukraine’s involvement in this assassination has not been made public and The New York Times obtained it through knowledgeable sources. This assessment was reported to the US government last week.
Although Russia did not retaliate for the assassination, the United States is concerned that such attacks, while highly symbolic, have little direct effect on the battlefield and may prompt Moscow to launch similar attacks against senior Ukrainian officials.
The New York Times writes that Ukraine’s lack of transparency regarding its military plans and covert operations against Russia has brought Washington despair.
United Nations spokesman Stephen Dujarric demanded a full investigation to clarify the facts leading to the murder of Daria Dugin, the son of Alexander Dugin, a philosopher and a figure close to Putin.
The United Nations has called for a full investigation into this murder. Earlier, Russia said that based on the investigations, this crime was planned and carried out by the Ukrainian special services. The Federal Security Service of Russia announced that the perpetrator of this crime was a Ukrainian citizen who fled to Estonia following the murder.
