DARYA DUGIN KILLED BY UKRAINIANS - U.S. GOVERNMENT

The New York Times is reporting US intelligence sources that the assassination of Darya Dugin in August was carried out by elements within the Ukrainian government. The sources also distanced the US from the attack.

Ms Dugin was killed by a car bomb that was almost definitely meant for her father, the Eurasianist idealogue Alexander Dugin. 

As reported by the New York Times:

United States intelligence agencies believe parts of the Ukrainian government authorized the car bomb attack near Moscow in August that killed Daria Dugina, the daughter of a prominent Russian nationalist, an element of a covert campaign that U.S. officials fear could widen the conflict.

The United States took no part in the attack, either by providing intelligence or other assistance, officials said. American officials also said they were not aware of the operation ahead of time and would have opposed the killing had they been consulted. Afterward, American officials admonished Ukrainian officials over the assassination, they said.

The closely held assessment of Ukrainian complicity, which has not been previously reported, was shared within the U.S. government last week. Ukraine denied involvement in the killing immediately after the attack, and senior officials repeated those denials when asked about the American intelligence assessment.

There has been some debate over whether Ms Dugin or her father are legitimate targets in this war. Whether they are or not, there is no denying that Dugin's ideas, which were entirely shared by his daughter, have an immense influence in inspiring the invasion of Ukraine, in which countless innocent civilians have already died. 

In fact, Putin's speech at a recent rally held in Red Square to commemorate the fake annexation of four regions of the Ukraine was almost entirely "Duginist" in content.
