Since the onset of the large-scale conflict in Ukraine, a series of Russian military personnel have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.
This new event comes after other serious incidents, including:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was died in a automobile blast in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov was killed in late 2024 when a explosive hidden on a scooter was triggered from afar.
While a Ukrainian source previously attributed Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are not publicly admitted as a matter of policy.

The examination into General Sarvarov's death is still underway.
