Russia Names Three Suspects in Shooting of High-Ranking Military Official

Shooting of Russian General

Russia has identified three suspects in the shooting of high-ranking military official Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alexeyev. Among them is Lyubomir Korba, a Ukrainian-born Russian citizen believed to have carried out the attack. The incident occurred in Moscow and has drawn attention due to its potential ties to Kyiv's intelligence services.

Korba was reportedly linked to Ukrainian intelligence and was extradited from the UAE after the shooting. Another suspect, Viktor Vasin, was arrested in Moscow, while a third individual, Zinaida Serebritskaya, is thought to have fled to Ukraine. Russian officials have denied Kyiv's involvement but suggested it could be an internal matter.

The case has raised tensions between Russia and Ukraine. President Putin thanked the UAE for assisting in Korba's arrest, highlighting international cooperation in the investigation.
