So many times we posted links to his immaculately referenced work as he exposed the bioweapons labs in Ukraine and spoke about the state of bioweapons in the world.

Maria Zakharova:

Lieutenant General of the Russian Armed Forces, Igor 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. He walked with an open visor. For the Motherland, for the truth.

Blessed memory, the kingdom of heaven.

Kirillov, 54, led Russia’s efforts to expose alleged US biological activities, citing documents found in Ukrainian laboratories during the special military operation.

Key findings include:

▪️ In March 2022, he presented documents claiming Pentagon-funded biolabs in Ukraine were developing biological weapons using bats and birds.

▪️ He said these documents showed experiments on Ukraine’s population, testing pharmaceuticals, and exporting biological samples to the US for offensive purposes.

▪️ In January 2024, he accused senior US officials, including Gina Haspel, Alex Azar, and Anthony Fauci, of obstructing COVID-19 origin investigations.

▪️ In September 2023, he labeled the US biolab network a biological threat, citing an illegal lab in California that housed pathogens such as COVID-19, HIV, and hepatitis.

▪️ He repeatedly accused the US and Ukraine of violating the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC).

▪️ Kirillov claimed Ukraine covertly used DM-105 chemical munitions disguised as smoke shells in Sudzha, Russia’s Kursk region, in August.

▪️ He revealed that Russian forces thwarted Ukraine’s “Short Circuit” operation to seize the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant in October 2024.

▪️ He warned that Kiev could stage a “dirty bomb” incident, training personnel to produce and detonate such devices in populated areas.

Kirillov was on Ukraine’s sanctions list for his role in the special military operation.

🗣BBC: “Ukraine killed a Russian general,” according to Kiev sources, later describing Kirillov as a “mouthpiece.”

🗣The Guardian: Kirillov was killed “in the most brazen targeted assassination of a senior military official.”

🗣The New York Times: The murder of General Kirillov was “the highest-profile apparent assassination of a Russian military official far from the battlefield.”

🗣The Washington Post: Since the start of the conflict, “several prominent figures have been killed in targeted attacks (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/39110),” including journalists Darya Dugina and Vladlen Tatarsky (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/20337).

🗣The Independent: The Ukrainian Security Service took responsibility for the “special operation” that killed General Kirillov.

MOSCOW, December 17. /TASS/. The Kiev regime will pay dearly for the death of Chief of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev warned.

“Attempts to intimidate our nation, stop the Russian offensive or sow fear are doomed. Certain punishment awaits Banderite Nazis, including the top military and political leaders of a crumbling country,” Medvedev’s office quoted the Russian politician as saying in a message of condolences to the family and friends of the fallen Russian general.

Medvedev condemned the attack by what he called the collapsing Kiev regime. “This terrorist attack demonstrates the agony of the Banderite regime, which is struggling to justify its shaky existence in the eyes of its Western patrons and prolong the deadly hostilities while delivering cowardly attacks on civilians in cities and towns,” he emphasized.

The senior Russian security official described Kirillov as a true patriot of Russia. “Igor [Kirillov] was a military leader known for his unwavering devotion to his duties. I knew him as a dedicated professional and a reliable, honest, and responsible person,” he added.

Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov worked in service to the world and to all of us. The curators, planners, and executors of this heinous crime deserve a kiss from a hazelnut tree.  Evidently, I am not the only one thinking about Oreshniks.
