History of Assaults
Since the beginning of the full-scale conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military personnel have been attacked within Moscow.
This new event comes after other serious incidents, including:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was died in a vehicle explosion in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov perished in late 2024 when a device hidden on a scooter was set off from a distance.
While a informant earlier attributed Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such claims are not formally acknowledged as a matter of standard practice.
The war has increasingly seen clandestine operations reaching into the center of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death is still ongoing.
