New unique footage shows today's special operation of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU), in which the head of the Russian radiation and chemical defense troops, Igor Kirillov, was eliminated.

The video shows general Kirillov and his assistant leaving the building. Not far from them is an electric scooter, which became a key element of the operation. As soon as they get within range of the explosive device, the vehicle detonates.

Who was Kirillov's assistant?

Along with the general, his assistant, military officer Ilya Polikarpov, was killed. The latter collaborated with propagandists and sent supplies to the troops at the front.

Liquidation of Kirillov

The SSU served general Kirillov with a notice of suspicion in absentia the day before. He was accused of the massive use of banned chemical weapons against the Ukrainian forces in the east and south of the country.

The investigation found that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, on Kirillov's orders, Russian troops have carried out more than 4,800 attacks using chemical munitions containing irritants CN and CS (tear gas).

The information about the explosion, which killed the general and his assistant, was first published by Russian propaganda resources.
