Recall
On the morning of December 17, Igor Kirillov, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological defense troops of the Russian armed forces, died in an explosion in Moscow. The explosion occurred after the detonation of an explosive device.
Sources of UNN reported that the elimination of the head of the Russian Radiation and Chemical Defense Troops was the work of the SBU.
The SBU had served Kirillov with a suspicion a day earlier. It is alleged that he is responsible for the use of chemical weapons against the Ukrainian Armed Forces. On his orders, more than 4.8 thousand cases of the use of chemical munitions at the front were recorded.
