Ukrainian agents kill Russian engineer who modernized missiles used in Ukraine, source claims
Editor's note: This is a developing story and is being updated.
Mikhail Shatsky, a Russian expert involved in modernizing missiles launched against Ukraine, was shot dead near Moscow, a Defense Forces source told the Kyiv Independent on Dec. 12.
His death was likely orchestrated by Ukraine's military intelligence agency, the source claimed.
Shatsky was deputy general designer and head of the software department at the Moscow-based Mars Design Bureau and oversaw the modernization of Kh-59 and Kh-69 missiles.
The first to report on Shatsky's death was Ukrainian-Russian anti-Kremlin journalist Alexander Nevzorov, who wrote on his Telegram channel that HUR "eliminated a particularly dangerous criminal."
Nevzorov shared photos of a person resembling Shatsky lying dead in the snow. The man was reportedly killed in the Kuzminsky forest park near Kotelniki in Moscow Oblast.
The Kyiv Independent could not verify all the claims.
