A 29-year-old Uzbekistani national has been arrested in connection with Tuesday’s assassination of Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov. A video of the suspect’s interrogation shows him confessing to planting the bomb on orders from Ukrainian intelligence.

Was on Radio 3 Mondo earlier on to discuss the arrest of an Uzbek citizen charged w/ the assassination of General Kirillov.
