The killing of Lieutenant General Yaroslav Moskalik, deputy head of the Main Operational Directorate of Russia’s General Staff, reflects the true nature of the Kiev regime, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Friday.

Earlier in the day, Russian Investigative Committee spokesperson Svetlana Petrenko confirmed that a criminal case had been opened into Moskalik’s murder, which occurred in Balashikha, a city in the Moscow Region.

Authorities said the incident was triggered by a homemade explosive device filled with shrapnel.

Later, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova described the incident as a "terrorist attack".

"The Kiev regime is once again just showing its nature. The Kiev regime continues to engage in terrorist activity on the territory of our country," Peskov said in an interview with Rossiya 1 journalist Pavel Zarubin.

Zakharova further stated there are grounds to suspect the involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services in Moskalik’s killing.

She noted that Moskalik had been known to Ukrainian authorities "since his time working in the Minsk Contact Group and the Normandy format to resolve the conflict in southeastern Ukraine."

If the investigation confirms Ukraine’s role in this killing, it will be yet another stark example to the international community of the "barbaric nature" of the Kiev regime, Zakharova underlined.
