Assassination Hits Putin Hard—Retribution Looms

Blow‑out Behind the Kremlin: Tobias Ellwood’s Shocking Take

What the Former Tory MP Got Called in Sky News

“It’s a headline‑making loss,” Ellwood told Sky News. “A top‑notch commander, the mastermind behind Russia’s nuclear arsenal, gone. Not on the front‑line in Ukraine, but right in Moscow, just a stone’s throw from the Kremlin.”

He didn’t hold back:

  • Putin’s Big Red‑flag moment – “This will be a real embarrassment for Vladimir.”
  • “The Russian public, who’re not rallying behind this war, can’t hide this.”
  • “I’m betting Moscow will come back with a major retaliatory splash.”

The Legal Angle: Russia’s Investigative Committee Gets Moving

On Telegram, the committee announced: “Investigators, forensic teams and special ops are on the scene at the site of the incident.”

They added: “We’re pulling every thread to understand how this crime unfolded.”

Inside Russia’s Blood‑Red Diplomacy

Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s security council deputy chair, told RIA Novosti:

  • “Kyiv’s leadership will feel the heat of this betrayal.”
  • Bitter‑sour: “Knowing they’re bound to lose, they’re firing indiscriminate attacks into peaceful spaces.”

Meanwhile, foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova fired back:

  • “The general was a relentless fact‑checker, exposing Anglo‑Saxon misdeeds.”
  • “He carried out his duties fearlessly, never sheltering threats behind anyone’s shoulders.”
  • “He faced problems head‑on, for the Motherland, for truth. May his memory shine on.”
