Additionally, the attacks prompted Zelensky to return to Kyiv, ending a summit with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa abroad.
Then, on Friday, the Kremlin blamed Ukraine for a car explosion in the Moscow area that claimed the life of a top military official.
According to reports, the tremendous blast ‘threw the general several metres away’ when it destroyed a Volkswagen Golf at approximately 10.40am local time (7.40am GMT), as captured on camera.
Yaroslav Moskalik, deputy head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, was declared dead by Russian investigators.
As of yet, no one has taken credit for what seemed to be a planned attack. However, the Kremlin blamed Ukraine for the incident, claiming that if Ukrainian involvement is verified.
It would be an indication of Kyiv’s “barbaric” character and that Ukraine was “escalating” in an attempt to sabotage peace negotiations.
