FSB Reports Confession in Shooting of GRU Deputy, Alleges SBU Plot and $30,000 Bounty

Ukraine denies involvement, with no independent verification of the FSB’s account.

Overview

  • Russian authorities say two suspects are in custody, including an alleged gunman detained in Dubai and transferred to Moscow, while a third suspect is reported to have fled to Ukraine.
  • The FSB claims both detainees confessed, alleging the shooter was recruited by Ukraine’s SBU in 2025, trained in Kyiv, given a pistol with a suppressor and an electronic key, and promised $30,000.
  • Russian media identify the suspects as Lyubomir Korba and Viktor Vasin, and name Zinaida Serebritskaya as a suspected accomplice who left Russia, details not independently corroborated.
  • The FSB further alleges assistance from Polish intelligence via the gunman’s Poland-based son, an accusation presented without public evidence.
  • GRU deputy Wladimir Alexeyev survived surgery and is conscious, as investigators pursue a case labeled a terror act following the attack that occurred a day after Abu Dhabi talks on the war.
