Overview
- The FSB says Lyubomir (Lyubomyr) Korba, a Ukrainian-born Russian citizen detained in Dubai and flown to Moscow, has been charged and remanded in custody on counts including attempted murder and illegal weapons possession.
- Russian authorities released surveillance and interrogation footage and claim Korba and alleged accomplice Viktor Vasin confessed to acting under orders from Ukraine's SBU, with purported Polish involvement in recruitment.
- Kyiv denies any role in the attack and no independent confirmation has substantiated the FSB’s allegations or the voluntariness of the confessions; UAE authorities have not publicly detailed the detention.
- Investigators say a Makarov pistol with a silencer was found at the scene and that Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alekseyev underwent emergency surgery after being shot in his Moscow apartment building, with officials earlier indicating he was expected to recover.
- Two alleged accomplices were identified, with Vasin detained in Moscow and Zinaida Serebritskaya reported to have left for Ukraine, as officials frame the shooting within a series of attacks on senior officers and note its timing after Abu Dhabi talks led by GRU chief Igor Kostyukov.
