(MENAFN) Ukraine is not a “criminal state” as Russia, and so had nothing to do with the assassination of a relative of one of Russian Leader Vladimir Putin’s allies, as said by a top Ukrainian official.

Darya Dugina, the daughter of political scientist Alexander Dugin, was murdered in a car blast on the outskirts of Moscow on Saturday.

"I want to emphasize that Ukraine had nothing to do with this,” Mykhailo Podolyak, Ukraine's senior high-level consultant, informed local channel ICTV on Sunday.

"They don’t understand that we’re not a criminal state like Russia," he went on, noting that accusing Ukraine for the explosion is probably meant to justify the drafting of more militaries for Russia’s conflict targeted at Ukraine, which started on February.

In latest years Moscow has been blamed of being behind the killings of Russian critics and defectors abroad, as well as the near-lethal poisoning of former-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in 2018 in Salisbury, England.
