29-year-old Duginová died on August 21 in a car explosion near Moscow. Kyiv has previously strongly denied the involvement of its own citizens or intelligence services in the assassination.
According to a previous statement of the Federal Security Service, the act was prepared and perpetrated by the Ukrainian secret services, and according to them, the perpetrator is the Ukrainian citizen Natalia Vovkova, who allegedly traveled to Estonia after the assassination.

“The preparation for the murder of Duginova, together with Vovkova, was carried out in Moscow by another member of the Ukrainian subversion and terror group, Ukrainian citizen Bohdan Tsihanenko (translated from Russian Bogdan Tsyganenko), born in 1978, who arrived in Russia via Estonia on July 30, 2022 and left the territory of Russia before the explosion ”, wrote the PR department of the FSB.
According to the intelligence service, Sihanenko provided Vovkova with fake registration marks and documents and collected an improvised explosive device with her in a rented garage in the southwest of Moscow. The FSB also claims that, according to security camera footage, Vovková was actually following Duginová at a cultural event that Duginová had before her death.
Duginová died on the evening of Saturday, August 21, when she was returning from the aforementioned event, which she attended with her father. According to some sources, he was originally supposed to ride a car with her.
Initially, Kyiv dismissed unofficial reports about Ukraine’s responsibility for this act. The Secretary of the Security Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov, later responded to the FSB’s announcement by saying that the KGB was behind the murder. According to him, the Ukrainian intelligence services do not work in this way.
