Pattern of Assaults
Since the beginning of the full-scale conflict in Ukraine, a series of Russian military commanders have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.
This latest event follows other high-profile incidents, such as:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was died in a car bomb attack in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov was killed in late 2024 when a explosive hidden on a scooter was set off from a distance.
While a informant in the past connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such claims are rarely officially confirmed as a matter of official stance.
The war has witnessed shadowy operations extending into the streets of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death is still active.
