DISINFO: The UK and Ukraine are behind the assassination attempt against General Alekseyev
SUMMARY
The Ukrainian secret services are the ones who ordered the assassination attempt on Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseyev, and a British connection is also visible.
Much has already been done recently to investigate the assassination attempt. We clearly understand that the masterminds are the Ukrainian intelligence services, and behind them are third countries, which we previously discussed as operating under the supervision of Western intelligence agencies.
We see a UK connection here, first and foremost.
RESPONSE
Conspiracy theory. Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative accusing the UK of being involved in the assassination attempt against Genераl Vladimir Alexeyev.
The claim is not supported by verifiable evidence or independent investigations.
Lt Gen Vladimir Alexeyev, 64, was taken to the hospital after an attack in a residential block of flats in the north-western outskirts of Moscow.
Alexeyev is number two in the main directorate of Russia's GRU military intelligence. He has been accused by the UK in the 2018 near-fatal Novichok poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Britain. A British woman died after being inadvertently exposed to the poison.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has denied allegations that Kyiv was involved in the assassination attempt.
The UK is a frequent target of Kremlin propaganda. Anglophobia has deep roots in the Russian political sphere. A concept frequently evoked in Russian political discourse is ”Англичанка гадит”(Anglichanka gadit) – "the English witch befouls."
