The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has reported that an alleged agent of the Ukrainian special services has been detained on suspicion of murdering Lieutenant General Yaroslav Moskalik, Deputy Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.

Moskalik was assassinated in the hamlet of Balashikha, east of Moscow, only hours before US President Donald Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, met with Russian President Vladimir Putin

Russian security forces say they have detained a Ukrainian spy accused of killing a senior Russian general in a car bomb attack in Moscow's suburbs on Friday. The FSB secret service said they had apprehended "Ukrainian special services agent Ignat Kuzi" who had "planted explosives in a Volkswagen Golf" to kill Gen Yaroslav Moskalik.
