DISINFO: The murder of General Kirillov is a US Deep State provocation
SUMMARY
The murder of General Kirillov is another attempt by Biden and the US Deep State behind him to provoke Russia into a tough response. Thus, an acute global crisis will arise before Trump receives the powers of the US President.
RESPONSE
Classic conspiracy theory, in line with the recurrent narrative that the West is fighting a proxy war against Russia.
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of the Russian Armed Forces' radiation, chemical, and biological defence troops, was killed in Moscow on December 17, 2024. The United States denies any involvement in his assassination. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller stressed that the US was not involved in the special operation. But he added that Kirillov "was a general who was involved in a number of atrocities. He was involved in the use of chemical weapons against the Ukrainian military…a unit under his command has used riot agents in violation of international law on the battlefield."
Ukraine has not officially claimed responsibility for the killing of the Russian general, but sources in Ukrainian law enforcement agencies confirmed to journalists that the special operation to liquidate Kirillov was carried out by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). Day before the assassination, on December 16, 2024, the SBU reported in absentia about suspicions against a Russian general who ordered the use of banned chemical weapons against the Defence Forces of Ukraine.
In March 2024, the 105th session of the Executive Council of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was held. One of the topics of the meeting was the use of chemical weapons in the war against Ukraine. Members of the OPCW Council noted an increasing flow of data that Russia is actively using toxic substances in the war against Ukraine. According to reports submitted to the OPCW, Russia is actively using so-called “riot control agents” against Ukrainian defence forces - chemical compounds that temporarily make people unable to function by causing irritation to the eyes, mouth, throat, lungs, and skin.

In October 2024, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on Kirillov for using riot control agents and over multiple reports of the use of the toxic choking agent chloropicrin in Ukraine.
