Fox News: Russian Generals' Assassinations Expose Growing Rift Inside Putin's Security Apparatus
Mediazona said the deaths include five lieutenant generals and seven major generals, with some killed far from Moscow and others near the front.
- A blast on June 9 killed Lt. Gen. Damir Davydov, a Russian Defense Ministry official overseeing missile and artillery supplies for Ukraine operations, near the site where Lt. Gen. Yaroslav Moskalik died in April 2025 from a car bombing in a Moscow suburb.
- Since Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, at least 15 Russian generals have been killed by missile strikes, drone attacks, car bombings, crashes, and frontline combat, exposing growing tensions between Russia's military and the FSB security service.
- The FSB is historically the most powerful domestic security organization and has feared the Russian army as a political rival, with no senior Russian military men holding high government positions since Stalin, reflecting deep distrust within the Kremlin.
- These assassinations and the internal tension within Putin's security apparatus coincide with the upcoming September parliamentary elections, which are expected to be manipulated to maintain Kremlin control, raising questions about their legitimacy.
