The SBU’s cowardly assassination of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov won’t stop his agency’s work.

Reuters cited a source in Ukraine’s SBU on Tuesday to report that they were responsible for assassinating Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, the head of Russia’s Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defense Forces (RChBZ). RT reminded their audience that he was instrumental in informing the world about the WMD threat posed by Ukraine. This includes its American-backed bioweapons experiments, dirty bomb plans, and the use of chemical weapons against Russian servicemen in the special operation zone.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova posted on Telegram that Kirillov “has been systematically exposing the crimes of the Anglo-Saxons for many years, with facts in hand: NATO provocations with chemical weapons in Syria, Britain's manipulations with prohibited chemical substances and provocations in Salisbury and Amesbury, the deadly activities of American biolabs in Ukraine and much more. He worked fearlessly. He did not hide behind people's backs.”

Her country is correspondingly expected to continue raising maximum global awareness of these issues. They’d somewhat faded out of the media limelight over the past year as attention shifted to the scenario of conventional Western escalations in Ukraine such as the decision to authorize Kiev to use the ATACMS for carrying out strikes deep inside of Russia and the possibility of deploying troops there under the cover of peacekeepers. All the while, however, Ukraine’s WMD threats never fully went away.

A lasting peace is therefore only possible if the solution includes mechanisms for dismantling this clandestine infrastructure and monitoring compliance afterwards. Trump would have to be on board for that to happen, but since some of his surrogates have talked about this issue before, it can’t be ruled out that he’d agree to this proposal if they convince him that the problem veritably exists. He also has an axe to grind with Hunter Biden, some of whose companies have been implicated in these schemes.

His father Joe just pardoned him for all crimes that he might have committed in the decade between 1 December 2014 and 1 December 2024, which was arguably done in part to complicate any potential investigation into Hunter’s ties with Ukraine, both financial and in connection with WMDs like biolabs. Trump and his MAGA allies in Congress would thus do well to look into all these leads for the sake of historical truth even if justice is now legally impossible.

If they do so, then they’ll discover that Russia has legitimate security interests in ensuring that such clandestine infrastructure in Ukraine is dismantled and never reestablished, which could make them more amenable to whatever proposals Russia puts forth in this regard as part of a peace deal. To be sure, the US will continue conducting WMD experiments abroad, but it’s important that this no longer occurs in Ukraine otherwise Russia might not agree to end the conflict until this threat is neutralized.

All told, Kirillov’s legacy is one for the ages since he played the most prominent role in exposing the WMD threat posed by Ukraine and its Western patrons, particularly the Anglo-American Axis. The world is now much more aware of this issue and Russia won’t let them forget about it. The SBU’s cowardly assassination of this multipolar hero won’t stop his agency’s work. They’re now more determined than ever to ensure that his memory is eternal and makes a meaningful difference in international security.
