Vladimir Putin thanked an American journalist for calling Kirillov's killing an "assassination." He believes that this incident was not just a murder, but a terrorist attack that threatened the lives of many people.

The attack took place on December 17. An explosive device attached to an electric scooter was detonated remotely near General Kirillov's home. The general and his aide were killed.

An Uzbek citizen suspected of carrying out the bombing has been detained. During interrogation, he admitted that he was recruited by Ukrainian special services.
