A bomb hidden in a cat cage to cross the border and kill a famous defender of war in Russia: the Ukrainian secret services are using targeted assassinations once morest their Russian enemy, argues Monday Washington Post in a long investigation.
The American daily writes in particular that Kiev is indeed at the origin of the August 2022 attack near Moscow, in which Daria Douguina, an ardent defender of the offensive once morest Ukraine and daughter of the ultranationalist author, died. Alexander Dugin.
The car in which this 29-year-old woman died had been trapped by a bomb from Ukraine, which had crossed the border a month earlier, hidden in a box to transport the cats of a mother and her twelve-year-old daughter, according to anonymous sources cited by the Washington Post.
This woman then rented an apartment near the home of Alexandre Duguine, the target, but the latter got into a different car on the day of the explosion.

Accused by Moscow, Ukraine denied any involvement in this attack which shocked Russia. But Ukrainian involvement had already been leaked by American sources cited by the New York Times in October 2022.

The daily reports that a former Russian submarine commander was shot dead in July by Ukrainian services in southern Russia. And that every similar operation is approved by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The Ukrainian secret services which carry out these operations, the SBU and the military GUR, have been trained, equipped and advised for years by the CIA, notes the Washington Post.
