Russian General Igor Kirillov, who headed the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Security Troops of the Russian Armed Forces, has been liquidated by the Security Service of Ukraine. UNIAN own sources in the security services told about it.
A scooter with explosives was blown up at 6 am on 17 December, when Kirillov and his assistant were leaving the entrance of the house on Ryazansky prospect in Moscow.
