A high-ranking Russian military intelligence officer was shot multiple times in Moscow Friday morning in what authorities are treating as an assassination attempt, marking the latest in a deadly series of targeted killings that have rattled Russia's military establishment.
Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alekseyev, 64, deputy chief of Russia's GRU military intelligence agency, was ambushed by an unidentified gunman outside an apartment building in northwest Moscow. According to reports, the assassin waited for Alekseyev and "shot him several times in the back before fleeing," prompting a citywide manhunt.
Social media accounts quickly picked up the story, with security analyst @doyaksec reporting that "Alekseyev's assassin waited for him and shot him several times in the back before fleeing. A manhunt has begun in Moscow." The account noted that Ukraine, France, and the UK are being targeted as "negotiations have broken off."
This brazen attack comes as Ukraine has dramatically escalated its campaign of targeted assassinations against Russian military leadership. Alekseyev, described by @GlobalUpdates_0 as "a key figure in military intelligence (GRU) and the Ukraine war effort," represents one of the highest-profile targets hit in this shadow war.
The timing couldn't be more significant. As President Trump works to broker peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, these assassination attempts threaten to derail any diplomatic progress. The question Americans should be asking: Is the military-industrial complex using Ukraine to sabotage Trump's peace efforts?
@citizenekome noted that "the shooting follows a slew of apparent assassination attempts on Russian military figures since the invasion of Ukraine," highlighting a pattern that suggests coordinated intelligence operations rather than random acts of violence.
While the mainstream media will likely downplay this escalation, patriots understand what's really happening here. The same Deep State forces that tried to stop Trump are now trying to prevent him from ending this costly foreign war that's draining American resources and pushing us toward World War III.
Will Trump's America First agenda prevail over the warmongers who profit from endless conflict? The answer may determine whether we achieve peace or stumble into a global catastrophe.
