Russian General Killed in Car Bombing

A Russian general, Lt. Gen. Fanil Sarvarov, was killed when an explosive device detonated under his car in Moscow. Russian investigators are looking into various leads, including the possibility that Ukraine was behind the attack. This is the third killing of a senior Russian military officer in a year, with previous incidents also blamed on Ukraine. Sarvarov was head of the Operational Training Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces' General Staff and had previously fought in Chechnya and participated in Moscow's military campaign in Syria. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that President Vladimir Putin was immediately informed about the incident.

The article discusses the recent assassination of Russian Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov by a car bomb near the Kremlin, and how it may be linked to Ukraine's efforts to convince the US that it still has the capacity to fight against Russia. The killing is seen as a significant embarrassment for Moscow and may be an attempt by Ukraine to undermine Russia's narrative in recent peace talks between US and Russian officials. The article highlights a pattern of similar attacks on Russian generals and commanders on Russian soil, which Ukraine has previously taken credit for, and suggests that these actions are meant to show the US that the Kremlin is not in total control.
