The United Kingdom has made it clear that it will not mourn the death of Igor Kirillov, the Russian general who was killed in an explosion in Moscow on Tuesday. This statement was issued by a spokesperson for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Kirillov had been sanctioned by the UK in October for his involvement in deploying chemical weapons on the battlefields of Ukraine. The UK government has condemned his actions, stating that he played a role in the illegal invasion that has caused suffering and death among the Ukrainian people.
