An Assassination in Russia's Krasnodar Region Calls Attention to the International Intelligence Complex
Targeted attacks on Russian military officials point to the dangerous presence of international intelligence networks such as Myrotvorets as it celebrates yet another "liquidation."
On July 10th, Stanislav Rzhitsky, Deputy Head of the Department for Mobilization for Russia’s Krasnodar Region, was assassinated while on his morning jog. The above video shows what little footage was caught of the event - the killer trailed behind Rzhitsky on a bike for a while before shooting him in the back. The Myrotvorets database - often referred to as the Ukrainian ‘hit-list’- swiftly marked the man as "liquidated" on their various platforms just a few short hours following the homicide.
The assassination adds to the rising number of targeted attacks aimed at specific Russian military figures such as that of Lieutenant General Oleg Tsokov, who recently died in Russian-occupied Berdiansk when he was targeted by a British-made Storm Shadow missile fired by the Ukrainian air force. The high-quality and time-sensitive intelligence necessary for such an attack points to the Ukrainian forces receiving foreign intelligence assistance, in this case likely from the United Kingdom’s Mi5 (via Myrotvorets Research Center). If information from the Myrotvorets website is to be trusted, and I tend to believe it is, it appears that the Mi5 had a hand in Monday’s assassination as well, though to what extent remains unclear.
An article on the myrotvorets website discussing assassination as a tool of political warfare and disruption makes the organizations position on such attacks quite clear, with the article ultimately concluding that assassination can be a useful tool of political warfare, but should be done so in a careful and calculated way in order to avoid any potential consequences. This is, according to the article, made easier with the help of external actors, including security services of foreigns countries.
It’s important to understand that despite being a clear violation of international law (not to mention human decency), the myrotvorets.center database seems to have picked up the pace over the past few weeks with the list, referred to by the center as “Purgatory,” being added to nearly every other day. Presumably in preparation for some sort of development in the conflict, the organization has also ramped up it’s social media presence. In fact it was through one of Myrotvorets’ Telegram channels that I first learned of Rzhitsky’s ‘liquidation.’
A Ukrainian national by the name of Sergey Denisenko was detained as a suspect for the crime on Tuesday and charged with premeditated murder today (July 14th). Denisenko confessed to the crime and admitted to having been recruited in Ukraine, presumably by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). This would explain why Myrotvorets was able to release information on the incident so quickly as the center is operated by the SBU on a semi-official basis.
The global consequences if nations continue to outsource their war crimes using unaccountable militant organizations are grave, especially when coupled with the effects of misinformation campaigns like the one commissioned by Myrotvorets. As tensions escalate and nations grow increasingly desperate, a continued erosion of international law is all that will be required to pave a path toward a Third World War.
