NYT: U.S. intelligence believes Ukraine is behind assassination of Ukrainian journalist and political analyst Darya Dugina (Platonova).
U.S. intelligence believes Ukraine is behind the murder of Russian journalist and political analyst Daria Dugina (Platonova). The New York Times reported this on October 5, citing a report circulated by the White House.
“U.S. intelligence agencies believe that part of the Ukrainian government authorized the car bombing near Moscow in August that killed Daria Dugina,” the report said.
It is noted that US officials did not reveal the initiators of Dugina’s murder in the Ukrainian government after the intelligence investigation.
As the newspaper notes, it is unknown whether “Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sanctioned the mission”.
The paper’s sources also stick to the version that Kiev initially targeted the deceased’s father, the philosopher Alexander Dugin.
U.S. officials also claim that they were not aware of Kiev’s plan to blow up the car Dugina was in beforehand. They assure us that Washington had had absolutely no part in this. Now, the U.S. fears that such actions on the part of Ukraine could widen the conflict.
Dugina was killed on the evening of August 20. In a Toyota Land Cruiser she was on her way to Moscow from the village of Zakharovo in the Moscow region from the literary and musical festival “Tradition”, which she attended with her father. The car exploded at full speed on the Mozhaisk highway near the village of Bolshiye Vyazemy at about 21:35, drove off to the side of the road and caught fire. The 29-year-old girl died instantly.
