On May 22, a war criminal Andrey Kondratyev was attacked in the Russian city of Kurgan. He is a chief designer at Kurganpribor, one of Russia's leading military-industrial enterprises, according to RBC-Ukraine's sources in Ukraine’s security services.
Kurganpribor is involved in the development and production of devices and systems for the Russian military-industrial complex, including missile technology. The company specializes in high-tech components for the Russian military, such as impact sensors used in missile and shell fuzes.
According to intelligence sources, Kondratyev was attacked in the evening in the entranceway of his residential building at 15 Krivolapova Street. He received several blows to the head. Russian media later reported that the assailant used a hammer in the attack.
Propagandist outlets in Russia claim the chief designer is currently in intensive care. However, his exact condition is still being verified.
"Preliminary data suggest Kondratyev has been eliminated. In any case, this is a signal to all those involved in producing deadly missiles used by Russia to commit war crimes, kill Ukrainian civilians, and wage a genocidal war: justice is inevitable," the Ukrainian source said.
Kondratyev is described as a protégé of Russian industrialist and so-called senator from the Kurgan region, Sergey Muratov.
This incident follows the recent killing of Russian Defense Ministry General Yaroslav Moskalik, who was blown up in his car near Moscow in Balashikha.
Additionally, in Moscow, Mikhail Shatsky, deputy general designer of the Mars Design Bureau and head of the software department, was eliminated. He was involved in upgrading Kh-59 missiles to the Kh-69 level, which Russian forces have used in strikes against Ukraine.
