Ukraine “to create fear” with Russian General’s killing

According to Marina Miron of King's College London, the killing of a top Russian general in Moscow is a strategic message from Ukraine to senior Russian military leaders. Miron describes this act as "irregular warfare." The assassination serves as a direct communication intended to instill fear within the Russian military command. The incident highlights a shift in tactics, potentially aimed at disrupting Russian operations through psychological impact and targeted elimination of key personnel. The location of the killing, within Moscow, suggests a deliberate attempt to demonstrate Ukraine's reach and capability.
