Russian general and conspiracy theorist Igor Kirillov was killed in Moscow on Tuesday .

Last month , Valery Trankovsky , a senior naval officer, and Sergei Yevsyukov , the former chief of the Russian -operated Olenivka prison that Russian forces blew up in 2022 , died in a similar attack this month in Donetsk .

These killings are more than acts of retribution; they are part of a calculated effort to signal Ukraine ’s resolve in the face of Russian aggression.

Ultimately, Ukraine ’s best hope is to bet on itself. Investing in domestic weapons production and leveraging Russia ’s economic instability are its most viable strategies for survival.
