Russia accuses the Ukrainian secret services of the attack on the daughter of Alexander Dugin

The Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia accused the Ukrainian secret services on Monday of perpetrating the attack that killed Daria Dúguina, daughter of the leader of the neo-Euroasianist movement, Alexander Dugin, considered close to the Kremlin, on Saturday.

"The crime was prepared and executed by the Ukrainian special services," the FSB said in a statement.

According to the note, the attack was carried out by a Ukrainian citizen, identified as Natalia Vovk, 43 years old.

The FSB (former KGB) claims that Vovk arrived in Russia on July 23 together with his 12-year-old daughter, Sofia, and rented an apartment in the same apartment building, where Dúguina lived.

After committing the crime, the perpetrator "went to Estonia through the Pskov region."

According to the Russian security services, Vovk arrived in the country in a car with the license plate of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, moved around Moscow with a Kazakh license plate and left Russia, using a Ukrainian license plate.

"The day of the murder Vovk and Sofia were at the 'Tradition' literary-musical festival to which Dúguina attended as guest of honor," they point out.

Dúguina died last Saturday when a bomb exploded in the lower part of her vehicle when she was driving on a highway on the outskirts of Moscow from a festival where she had been with her father.

The Ukrainian Presidency previously denied any connection to the attack.
