Russians: Man suspected of shooting a general in Moscow arrested in Dubai
A man suspected of shooting Russian General Vladimir Alexeyev has been arrested in Dubai.
Liubomyr Korba, a man suspected of nearly killing General Vladimir Alexeyev in Moscow, has been arrested in Dubai by UAE authorities. The incident occurred on February 6, when Alexeyev was shot multiple times while in a residential building in Moscow. Following the attack, the assailant fled the scene, prompting an extensive manhunt that led to Korba's capture in Dubai.
Russian investigators have suggested that Korba, born in Ukraine in 1960 when it was part of the USSR, was responsible for the assassination attempt. There are speculations that the attack may be connected to Ukrainian involvement, although no group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far. This incident sheds light on the escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, especially following the ongoing conflict that has heightened political animosities.
The arrest in Dubai raises further questions regarding the international dimensions of this case, including how a suspect could flee to a foreign country and whether there are any geopolitical implications tied to the incident. The UAE's handling of the investigation could also influence its diplomatic relations with both Russia and Ukraine as they navigate this charged atmosphere of blame and counter-blame over ongoing hostilities.
