A senior Russian military official has been killed in a car explosion near Moscow, as Vladimir Putin met with Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff for high-stakes peace talks.

The Russian authorities named the officer as Lt Gen Yaroslav Moskalik, the deputy head of the main operations directorate of the general staff of the Russian armed forces.

The blast appeared to be similar in nature to previous attacks on Russians that were later claimed by Ukraine and could cast a shadow over Friday’s talks between Moscow and Washington.

So, they sacrificed one of their own to paint a bad picture on Ukraine and postpone deals?
Why else would they push the importance of the general up in front so much?

Maybe I just don't trust Putin...
