Demonstrators in Genoa have voiced their criticisms against the EU and NATO, accusing them of complicity in what they term "Kiev’s terrorism."
In the Italian city, dozens gathered to honor Russian General Igor Kirillov, who was killed in a Ukrainian terrorist attack earlier this week. Kirillov, who led Russia’s Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Protection Forces, and his aide, Lieutenant Colonel Ilya Polikarpov, were targeted by an improvised explosive device placed on an electric scooter outside a residential building in Moscow on Tuesday morning.
The following day, authorities arrested a man from Uzbekistan in connection with the incident. The Russian Investigative Committee reported that the suspect confessed to being recruited by Ukrainian intelligence services to assassinate the general in exchange for $100,000 and a pathway to escape to a European country.
Videos from the rally in Genoa show demonstrators throwing EU and NATO flags onto the ground and trampling them.
Participants displayed banners expressing gratitude to Kirillov for his service and remembering him as "a victim of terrorism by Ukraine and NATO." Many in the crowd also waved Italian and Russian national flags, and a replica of the Victory Banner—a symbol of the Soviet Union's triumph over Nazi Germany—was prominently featured.
Throughout his career, Kirillov had consistently accused the US of conducting covert biological research under the guise of humanitarian aid and military collaboration in Ukraine and other nations. He also alleged that the Ukrainian forces were using prohibited chemical weapons during their conflict with Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin characterized Kirillov’s assassination as a terrorist act carried out through "publicly dangerous" means.
"The regime in Kiev has repeatedly committed such crimes – terrorist attacks against many citizens of Russia," Putin remarked, emphasizing that "we have never heard condemnation of such terrorist attacks" from Western nations.
