Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, has vowed 'inevitable retaliation' against Ukraine's military and political leadership following the assassination of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of Russia's Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defense Troops. Kirillov was killed in Moscow due to an explosion.

He emphasized that the Ukrainian leadership would face imminent punishment for Kirillov's death.
