Background:

• On 17 December, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, Head of Russia’s nuclear troops, and his aide were killed in an explosion in Moscow. The explosion occurred near a residential building on Ryazansky Prospekt in Moscow. An explosive device was detonated in a scooter that was standing next to the entrance.
• Russia's investigative committee has classified the deaths of Kirillov and his aide as a terrorist attack.
• Later, an Ukrainska Pravda source in the security service reported that the explosion that killed Kirillov was a special operation by the SSU.
• Prior to that, the SSU announced that it had served a notice of suspicion on the Russian general who had ordered the use of chemical weapons against Ukraine's defence forces over 4,800 times.
• Over 2,000 servicemen from Ukraine's defence forces have been sent to military hospitals and other medical institutions with varying degrees of chemical poisoning during Russia's full-scale invasion.
