Zelensky warns of Russian escalation after daughter of ‘Putin’s Brain’ is killed in car bombing

Days before Ukraine’s Independence Day, President Volodymyr Zelensky warned of escalation by Russia after the daughter of a prominent Russian ideologue died in a car bombing outside Moscow, although Kyiv denied having any links to the murder.

“We should be conscious of the fact that this week Russia may try to do something particularly nasty,” Zelensky said in a video address Sunday after Darya Dugina was killed.
