A suspect, a 29-year-old US citizen, has been arrested in connection with the assassination of a senior Russian general in Moscow. The Kremlin has labeled the incident a terrorist attack and is blaming Ukraine, promising retaliation. The general was killed by a bomb hidden in a scooter outside his apartment. The suspect allegedly confessed to being recruited by Ukrainian intelligence, claiming he was offered $100,000 and a European passport for the act. However, there are doubts about the credibility of this confession, given the rapid resolution of the case and Russia's history of blaming external parties for internal issues. The general was under international sanctions for allegedly ordering the use of chemical weapons, which Ukraine claims he was guilty of. Russia's investigative agency is vowing to punish Ukraine, amidst ongoing daily attacks and severe conditions for Ukrainians, including power shortages and military assaults. Despite the threats, the use of tactical nuclear weapons by Russia is considered unlikely, though the situation remains tense and dire for Ukrainians.
