Ukrainian security operatives have claimed responsibility for “eliminating” a top Russian missile scientist responsible for modifying cruise missiles to make them more deadly.
Footage shared via Twitter today appears to show the aftermath of a deadly attack which claimed the life of Mikhail Shatsky in Moscow. The brief clip appears to show forensics officers arriving on the scene.
A post by Ukrainian journalist Alexander Nevzorov on the Telegram app referred to Kyrylo Budanov, Ukraine’s secret service chief.
He commented: “Budanov has long arms.
“It seems that none of those guilty of the genocide of Ukrainians will die a natural death.”
Mr Nevorov added: “Today, the GUR forces in Moscow eliminated a particularly harmful criminal – Deputy General Designer, Head of the Software Department of the Mars Design Bureau Mikhail Shatsky.
“He was involved in upgrading the X-59 cruise missiles to the level of the X-69, introduced new UAVs and is guilty of the deaths of thousands of innocent Ukrainians.”
