Assassination by scooter
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of Russia's Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Forces, was assassinated on December 17, 2024, in Moscow. A bomb concealed in an electric scooter near his apartment building detonated as he and his assistant, Ilya Polikarpov, exited the premises, killing both. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) claimed responsibility, citing Kirillov's alleged involvement in deploying banned chemical weapons in Ukraine. Memes ridicule a scooter as an assassination weapon for a high-ranking military commander. They also suggest that NATO intelligence was used in this operation. [ChatGPT, edited]
