ICYMI: Daria Dugina is dead.
She died in a car blast that appears to have been an assassination attempt.
She was not the target, however.
Most believe the actual target was her father, Alexander Dugin, who had attended a cultural festival with his daughter but left in a different vehicle.
Bad Hit
Dugin has been dubbed “Putin’s Brain” in the media.
He and his daughter are strong allies of Putin, but the father was more than likely the target of this attack.
Russia already claimed that an assassin aided by Ukrainian special forces carried out the attack.
They have video of the femme fatale at the residence of Dugina as well as leaving after the explosion with a license plate that had been changed to a Ukrainian plate.
According to reports, the alleged assassin moved into the same building as Dugina for surveillance.
Ukraine denied involvement, stating, “We are not a criminal state, unlike Russia, and definitely not a terrorist state.”
One thing we know for sure… Russia is using this attack to turn up the heat against Ukraine.
It would not be surprising at all to see a high-level assassination attempt on someone with the Ukraine government.
