Russian general among 2 killed in Moscow-area car bombing

The Kremlin blamed Ukraine for a car bomb that killed a senior Russian military officer near Moscow on Friday, hours before U.S. President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

There was no official comment from Kyiv on the death of 59-year-old Yaroslav Moskalik, the latest in a series of Russian military officers and pro-war figures to be assassinated since the start of Russia's war in Ukraine.

"The Kyiv regime once again simply shows its true nature. The Kyiv regime continues to be involved in terrorist activity on the territory of our country," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told a state TV reporter.

They are the ones ordering the brutal murder of women and children.
They are guilty of war crimes.

Every general killed may save lives.
