The senior Russian general killed in a car bombing in Moscow on April 25 prepared reports for Russian President Vladimir Putin on the situation in Ukraine, according to an obituary from the Russian Defense Ministry on April 29.<\/p>\n

Yaroslav Moskalik was a deputy chief of the main operations directorate of Russia’s army and reportedly led the combat duty shift overseeing battlefield developments from the Russian General Staff, the obituary, published in the Russian state newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda, reported.<\/p>\n

He was killed in an explosion in the Russian city of Balashikha, Moscow Oblast, a spokesperson for the Investigative Committee of Russia confirmed<\/a> on April 25.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian officials have not commented on Moskalik\u2019s death, though on April 28, President Volodymyr Zelensky said<\/a> he had received intelligence updates on the elimination of senior figures within Russia\u2019s military leadership.<\/p>\n

According to the obituary, from 2015 to 2021 Moskalik was also part of the Russian delegation to the Minsk Contact Group and participated in the Minsk talks and Normandy Four meetings in Berlin and Paris. <\/p>\n

He also worked on planning Russia\u2019s military intervention in Syria in 2015. <\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s FSB claimed<\/a> on April 26 to have detained a suspect, Ignat Kuzin, accused of killing Moskalik in the car bombing. According to Russian authorities, Kuzin allegedly put the explosive device in the parked vehicle. The FSB claimed the device was remotely controlled from the territory of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

A criminal case has been opened.<\/p>\n

The incident took place as U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff<\/strong><\/a> arrived in Moscow earlier in the day to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

While Ukraine has not been officially linked to the recent car bombing, Kyiv has previously targeted Russian officials who play a key role in Russia’s full-scale invasion.<\/p>\n

Igor Kirillov, the head of the Russian Armed Forces’ radiation, chemical, and biological defense troops, was killed<\/a> in an explosion at a residence in Moscow in December 2024, a source in the Security Service of Ukraine told the Kyiv Independent.<\/p>\n

Mikhail Shatsky, a Russian expert involved in modernizing missiles launched against Ukraine, was shot dead near Moscow<\/a> on Dec. 12, a Defense Forces source told the Kyiv Independent.<\/p>\n

Aleksey Kolomeitsev, a Russian colonel who trained specialists in the use of attack drones, was killed in the city of Kolomna<\/a> in Moscow Oblast, Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) reported on Sept. 28.<\/p>\n
