so, correct me if i'm wrong...but didn't putin put a price on the heads of Zelensky and all his main officers and aids?Russia accuses Ukrainian agents of killing daughter of Putin ally
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) on Monday accused Ukrainian secret services of killing the daughter of an influential ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin known as “Putin’s brain.” The FSB told Russian news outlet Tass that a Ukrainian named Natalia Voyk was behind the killing of TV commentator and journalist Daria Dugina, who died after a bomb exploded in her car on Saturday night.
Russia’s intelligence agency said Voyk fled to Estonia after the killing. The FSB said they are seeking her extradition.
The Hill could not immediately verify the claims and the Tass did not share any evidence from the FSB.
Ukraine has denied involvement in the attack through a statement from Mykhailo Podolyak, a top presidential adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“We are not a criminal state, unlike Russia, and definitely not a terrorist state,” Podolyak said on Ukrainian national television, according to Al Jazeera.
Dugina, 29, was the daughter of Alexander Dugin, a prominent philosopher and writer who is said to be a close adviser to Putin.
Dugina, who has pushed for the restoration of Russian power and unity, is a supporter of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and manages an ultra-nationalist website called Geopolitica, which spreads propaganda and disinformation about the U.S. and other Western nations. In 2015, the U.S. designated Dugin as a threat to the sovereignty of Ukraine.
Dugina is also a staunch supporter of Russian nationalism and has spread similar rhetoric about Ukraine through the website United World International. The U.S. sanctioned Dugina in March.
Before an alleged remote-controlled bomb exploded in her Toyota Land Cruiser, Dugina attended a literary and musical festival in Moscow with her father on Saturday.
The FSB on Monday said Voyk traveled to Moscow with her teen daughter Sofya Shaban on July 23 and rented an apartment in the same building where Dugina lived, Tass reported. Russia accused Voyk of spying on Dugina.
Russia’s Investigative Committee has launched a more formal investigation into Dugina’s death and the FSB has handed materials and evidence over for the probe, according to Tass.
An unknown Russian group called the National Republican Army claimed responsibility for the attack on Sunday. According to the Kyiv Independent, a former Russian lawmaker confirmed the group was responsible for Dugina’s murder.
U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House intelligence Committee, said he hoped Ukraine was not behind the attack and that it was an internal Russian affair.
“We have seen terrible war crimes by Russia against Ukraine, and Russia should be held accountable,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday. “And I certainly would never want to see anything like an attack on civilians by Ukraine, and hope that their representations are correct.”

fuck turkey...old school corruption is the base of their whole government, and erdogan is a shitty low level gangster sucking putin's cockTurkey doubles Russian oil imports, filling EU void
Turkey doubled its imports of Russian oil this year, Refinitiv Eikon data showed on Monday, as the two countries are set for broader cooperation in business and especially energy trade in the face of western sanctions against Moscow.
Trade between Turkey and Russia has been booming since spring as Turkish companies not banned from dealing with Russian counterparts stepped in to fill the void created by EU businesses leaving Russia after its invasion of Ukraine earlier this year. Russia calls its actions in Ukraine 'a special military operation.'
Turkey increased oil imports from Russia, including Urals and Siberian Light grades, beyond 200,000 barrels per day (bpd) so far this year compared to just 98,000 bpd for the same period of 2021, Refinitiv data showed.
Turkey did not sanction Russia due to its actions in Ukraine, saying it remains reliant on Russian energy supplies.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan met early in August and agreed to boost business cooperation.
Turkey's main refiners Tupras and Azerbaijan's SOCAR's STAR refinery significantly increased intake of Russian Urals and Siberian Light oil this year, while decreasing purchases of North Sea, Iraqi and West African grades, the data showed.
Over the last few years, STAR refinery increased purchases of Norway's Johan Sverdrup and Iraqi oil grades, which are close in quality to Urals as Russian oil has been growing in price.
This year, Russian oil prices fell to historical lows against the dated Brent benchmark, while North Sea and Iraqi oil grades prices improved.
STAR refinery is expected to purchase about 90,000 bpd of oil from Russia during January to August 2022 compared to 48,000 bpd during the same period of the last year, Refinitiv Eikon data showed.
Tupras refineries will buy about 111,000 bpd of oil from Russia in January to August this year compared to just 45,000 bpd during the same period last year, according to the data.
"The choice for Turkey's refiners was obvious as they have no limits on Russian oil buying", a trader in the Mediterranean oil market said, who declined to be named as he is not authorized to speak to the press.
He added that good Urals oil refining margins supported Turkey's refiners profits.
Turkey's Energy ministry, Tupras and SOCAR did not immediately respond to Reuters for comments.
