History of Incidents

Since the start of the full-scale conflict in Ukraine, a string of Russian military personnel have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.

This most recent event follows other serious incidents, such as:

• General Yaroslav Moskalik was lost his life in a car bomb attack in Moscow earlier this year.
• General Igor Kirillov perished in late 2024 when a explosive placed on a scooter was set off from a distance.

While a Ukrainian source in the past connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are never publicly admitted as a matter of standard practice.

Hostilities has witnessed clandestine operations moving into the streets of the Russian capital.

The probe into General Sarvarov's death remains underway.
