(ANSA) - UDINE, 26 OTT - The Ukraine government does not
rule out the Russian investigative trail after the explosion
last night in Kiev where two people died and the deputy Igor
Mosiychuk was injured.
The attack - considered as a ''terrorist attack'' by Ukraine's Interior Ministry - took place late last night at the entrance of the Espresso web tv where the radical national deputy had taken part in a tv program.
According to investigators, strangers had placed a bomb in a parked motorcycle, which exploded at the passage of the lawmaker and his bodyguards. In the blast, an agent who worked as Mosiychuk's bodyguard and a passer-by, who died in hospital as reported by Elena Ghitlianskaia, spokeswoman for the Ukraine's security services (Sbu).
''Options can be many. The client single: Russia'', Interior Minister Advisor Ivan Varchenko, quoted by the online 112.ua, said. According to him, ''there is concrete evidence that can confirm that'' the Russians ''were interested'' in what is happening''. ''In particular - explains - the statements of Ramzan Kadyrov from2014 in which he spoke directly about his intentions to kill Mosiychuk and some of his colleagues.
Investigations must consider other versions - concluded the Inetrior Minister Advisor - but I believe there is the evidence base to considered that the version of the Russian customer is one of the priority ones''.
Later, the Kremlin spokesman denies the accusations of Interior Minister Advisor Ivan Varchenko who tell that it can not be ruled out that may be the lieutenant of Russian President Putin in Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, behind last night blast in Kiev where two people died, and that perhaps it was an attack on deputy Igor Mosiychuk' life. "As always," Peskov said, "Kiev makes hysterical and baseless accusation not only against Ramzan Kadyrov, but almost against all those who have to deal with Moscow".
