Ukrainian intelligence services behind car blast in Moscow — Ukraine’s former PM

According to Nikolay Azarov, the main motive was Sergey Zavorotny's journalistic activity aimed at exposing the Kiev regime

MOSCOW, November 13. /TASS/. Ex-Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov believes Ukrainian intelligence services were behind a terrorist attack against his former aide Sergey Zavorotny over his journalistic activity.

"I have no doubt that this is the work of Kiev’s intelligence services and their agents on Russian territory. It is beyond a shadow of a doubt," Azarov told Vesti.

"I think the main motive was his journalistic activity aimed at exposing the Kiev regime," he added.

Earlier, a car exploded on Kirovogradskaya Street in southern Moscow, wounding the driver, who was hospitalized. The person injured was Sergey Zavorotny. Investigators opened a criminal case on suspicion of attempted murder.
