Today, Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin considered the killing of Daria Dugin, the daughter of a famous thinker close to the Kremlin, in the explosion of her car a "despicable crime" that Moscow accuses Kyiv of carrying out.
"A despicable and brutal crime that ended Daria Dugin's life prematurely," Putin said in a letter of condolence released by the Kremlin to the family of the young woman who was killed on Saturday.
In his first comment on the murder of the daughter of Alexander Dugin, who is described as his "mastermind", Putin described the dead woman as "she was brilliant, talented and had a true Russian heart."
Earlier today, the Russian "TASS" news agency quoted the Russian Federal Security Service that the perpetrator of the murder of Daria Dugin, a Ukrainian citizen, has disappeared after the crime in Estonia.
The Russian Federal Security Service accused the Ukrainian intelligence of planning and carrying out the assassination of Daria Dugin.
The Russian service stated in the details that the accused arrived in Russia with her daughter Sofia Chaban on July 23 in a car bearing the numbers of the separatist Donetsk People's Republic, and then immediately left for Estonia in a car with Ukrainian numbers.
The Russian State Security Service indicated that the perpetrator of the assassination was renting with her daughter an apartment in the suburbs of the capital, Moscow, in the same apartment building in which Darya was living, with the aim of collecting information about her.
The service indicated that on the day of the assassination, Natalia and her daughter were present at the same popular event in the Moscow suburbs in which Daria and her mother participated.
Daria was killed after leaving a popular event near Moscow on Saturday, and one of the organizers of the event said that her father was supposed to be in the car that exploded.
Daria Dugin worked as a press secretary for her father, a nationalist and leading theorist of the Kremlin's ideology who predicted the end of the era of Western liberalism.
According to reports in the Moscow media, the woman was on the British sanctions list for spreading false news about the Russian war on Ukraine.
