Ignat Kuzin
Ignat Kuzin, suspected of murdering deputy chief of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Yaroslav Moskalik, has been detained
According to the FSB, a Ukrainian intelligence agent bought a car and planted an IED in it. He parked the car near Moskalik's house. A criminal case has been opened under the articles "Murder" and "Illegal trafficking of explosives." It is known that 42-year-old Kuzin is a native of the Ukrainian city of Sumy.
Ignat Kuzin said he was recruited by Ukrainian special services in 2023. He moved into the house where Moskalik lived in November last year - since then he has been following him
According to Kuzin, he was supervised by a certain Vadim from the Kyiv region since April 2023. It was on his instructions that Kuzin left for Moscow in September of the same year. In November 2024, six months before the car explosion, he moved into an apartment in the same building where Moskalik lived. His housing was paid for. In February, he bought a car. All this time, he was being monitored by a supervisor - using his coordinates, Kuzin found a hiding place from which he took a camera and a bomb. The detainee claims that the explosion was carried out by his supervisor, who was on the territory of Ukraine.
