FSB Claims Ukrainian Security Services Behind Shooting of GRU General in Moscow
Russia's FSB security service has announced the arrest of individuals involved in the attempted assassination of Vladimir Alexeyev, a senior military intelligence officer in Moscow. The FSB claims that the suspects, including a Ukrainian-born Russian citizen named Lyubomir Korba, were acting under orders from Ukraine's SBU security service. Alexeyev, who serves as the first deputy head of Russia's GRU military intelligence service, was shot multiple times at his apartment and remains in critical condition. The FSB reported that Korba was arrested in the United Arab Emirates and extradited to Russia, while another suspect, Viktor Vasin, was detained in Moscow. The suspects allegedly confessed to being recruited by Ukraine, with Korba receiving marksmanship training in Kyiv and being promised $30,000 for the assassination. The FSB also implicated Korba's son, a Polish citizen, in the recruitment process, allegedly with the assistance of Polish intelligence services.
