Russia hands life sentence to man over Kyiv-ordered killing of army general

MOSCOW: Russia on Wednesday jailed an Uzbek man for life and handed three other men long sentences over the 2024 killing of Russian army general in Moscow on Ukrainian orders, an AFP reporter in the court said. Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov was killed with his assistant when a booby-trapped electric scooter exploded as they left a residential building in Moscow at dawn. A Moscow military court sentenced Akhmadzhon Kurbonov — accused of planting the device — to life in prison. Three other men were handed sentences ranging from 18 to 25 years for being accomplices.
