Moscow blamed Ukraine's military intelligence for the Crimean bridge explosion

"The organizer of the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge is the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and its leader Kyrylo Budanov," the FSB statement said.

Deputy Head of the Security Council of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, said that Moscow must respond to the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge.
As he said, Russia will respond by eliminating the terrorists responsible for the attack.

According to the Russian media, it is Ukrainian citizen Bogdan Tsyganenko (42), who is suspected of being responsible, together with Natalya Vovk, for the bomb attack in which Darya Dugina was killed.
Tsyganenko, 44, arrived in Russia via Estonia on July 30 and left the country the day before the killing, the FSB said.

Russia on Aug. 22 declared Ukrainian intelligence responsible for the brazen car bombing that killed the daughter of a leading right-wing Russian political thinker over the weekend. Ukraine denied involvement.

Russian services blamed Ukraine for the murder of Darya Dugina, the Russian news agency Interfax reported.

According to Russia's Federal Security Service, "the crime was prepared and carried out by the Ukrainian special services."

According to them, the murder was committed by a citizen of Ukraine, Natalia Vovk, born in 1979, who arrived in Russia on July 23, 2022 together with her daughter.
