President Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on December 19, where the two leaders discussed key issues related to bilateral relations and multilateral cooperation in regional organizations, according to the presidential press service.
One of the main topics addressed during the call was the importance of further strengthening collaboration between the special services of Uzbekistan and Russia. Both leaders emphasized the need for effective joint efforts in combating security threats and risks in the region.
This discussion came in the wake of a recent attack in Russia, which resulted in the death of General Igor Kirillov and his assistant Ilya Polikarpov. The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) reported that the attack, which occurred on December 17, involved a bomb placed on an electric scooter.
Investigations revealed that an Uzbek citizen had rented a car-sharing vehicle for surveillance purposes and had connected a Wi-Fi camera to monitor the target. The footage was transmitted to the organizers of the attack, which took place in Dnepropetrovsk.
According to the FSB, Ukrainian intelligence remotely detonated the bomb after receiving a video signal of the general and his assistant leaving the train station. The Uzbek citizen who allegedly carried out the attack was promised a reward of $100,000 and entry into the European Union by Ukrainian special services.
In response to the incident, an Uzbek national suspected of involvement in the attack was detained in the village of Chernoye, Balashikha District, Moscow Region.
The Embassy of Uzbekistan in Russia has confirmed it is in contact with Russian law enforcement agencies and is working to clarify further details about the individual implicated in the attack.
