Russian Intelligence Officer Shooting Suspect Detained in Dubai, Alleged Ukrainian Connection
Russian authorities have announced the detention of Lyubomir Korba, a Russian citizen, in Dubai. Korba is suspected of shooting Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alekseyev, the deputy chief of Russia’s military intelligence agency, in Moscow. The Federal Security Service (FSB) claims that Korba was acting on instructions from Ukrainian intelligence to carry out a terrorist attack. The shooting occurred at an apartment building in northwestern Moscow, leaving Alekseyev hospitalized. The incident is part of a series of attacks on senior Russian military officers, which Russia attributes to Ukraine. The FSB has identified two accomplices, one detained in Moscow and another who reportedly fled to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov labeled the attack as a terrorist act aimed at disrupting peace talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. in Abu Dhabi.
