The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), the country’s leading Russian intelligence agency, said on Monday that the murder of Darya Dugina was “falsified and perpetrated by the Ukrainian special services”, thus formally accusing Ukraine of being behind the attack that killed the daughter of the nationalist ideologist, Alexander Dugin.
The FSB, in turn, added that the murder was carried out by a Ukrainian citizen who then left the country for Estonia.
According to Russian intelligence, the woman, who he identified as Natalya Vovk, rented an apartment in the building where Dugina lived and followed her. Vovk and his daughter attended a nationalist festival which was also attended by Alexander Dugin and his daughter, shortly before the attack.
The agency said Vovk and his daughter left Russia for Estonia after Dugina’s murder, using a different vehicle license plate on their way out of the country.
Ukraine, for its part, has it responsibility denied of crime.
