MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The assassination of Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the head of the Troops of Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defense of the Russian armed forces, is unlikely to affect possible peace talks between Moscow and Kiev, Keith Kellogg, who was tapped by US President-elect Donald Trump as his special envoy to Ukraine and Russia, said.
"I don't think it is really a setback, but I would say this, there are rules for warfare, and there are certain things you just kinda don’t do," Kellogg told Fox Business when asked a relevant question.
The politician added that killing generals in their hometowns and not on the battlefields is "not a smart thing to do."
Kirillov and his aide were killed in a bomb blast in Moscow early on Tuesday, the Russian Investigative Committee said. An official with Ukraine's security service SBU confirmed to The New York Times that Ukraine was responsible for the assassination.
