Ukraine, after the deadly attack on the daughter of Putin's spiritual guide: "We have nothing to do with it, we are not criminals like Russia"
An adviser to the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenski, denied this Sunday that Kyiv is involved in the attack that last Saturday cost the life of the daughter of Russian ultranationalist Alexandr Dugin.
"I stress that Ukraine has nothing to do with this because we are not a criminal state like the Russian Federation and we are not a terrorist state," Mikhailo Podolyak, one of Zelensky's advisers, said in televised remarks.
On the contrary, he indicated that Russia has begun to "disintegrate internally" and that various political groups are beginning to face each other in a struggle for power.
As part of this ideological redistribution, "informative pressure" on society is growing and the war in Ukraine is being used as an escape route, while nationalist sectors are becoming more radicalized, Podolyak said.
Daria Dúguina, daughter of the leader of the neo-Eurasianist movement, Alexandr Dugin, one of the close allies of Russian President Vladimir Putin, died on Saturday night when a bomb exploded in the car he was driving.
The leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, directly accused the Kyiv government of being behind the attack. "In an attempt to eliminate Alexandr Dugin, the terrorists of the Ukrainian regime have killed his daughter," the pro-Russian leader wrote on Telegram.
Russian senator Andréi Klishas described the attack as an "enemy attack" and demanded that its material and intellectual authors be brought to justice.
