As it happened: Ukraine war: Journalist's killing a vile, cruel crime - Putin - BBC News
Russia accuses Ukraine of killing the daughter of a Vladimir Putin ally, but Ukraine denies involvement.
Alexander Dugin is a vocal supporter of Russia’s war in Ukraine, as was the late Darya Dugina.

The FSB Security Service has said that Ukrainian intelligence agents were responsible for her murder.

In a statement released today, the FSB claimed that Ukrainian operatives fled to Estonia after blowing up Dugina's car.

An adviser to the Ukrainian president has denied Ukraine was involved.

This morning, the Time Will Tell programme on Russian state TV paid tribute to Dugina, a regular guest.

“She died for the idea of the ‘Russian World’,” said presenter Olesya Loseva.

One studio guest suggested the response would be “holy fury” and the programme showed a photograph of mortar shells, apparently belonging to pro-Russian forces in Ukraine, one of which had “this is for Darya!” scrawled on the side.

If Dugina’s killing was meant to intimidate Russia, bellowed several of the guests, “it will have the opposite effect”.

Analyst Yekaterina Shulman says the outpouring of anger amongst pro-Kremlin commentators in response to the car bomb attack appears suspicious.

“The reaction…was immediate. It looks as if they were waiting for something like this to happen,” she says.

Whoever was responsible, says Shulman, the killing “could possibly be used to ramp up some public outrage within the country to justify even more active repressive actions on the part of the state”.

Amongst ordinary Russians though, the killing of Dugina - a very minor figure in Russia - will have made little impact, if any.

But many here will be worried about the worsening security situation in Russia.

A series of explosions have hit Russian bases in occupied Crimea, and in Russian regions near the border with Ukraine, in recent weeks.

And some opinion polls do show that more Russians are becoming concerned that the ‘special military operation’ – what the Kremlin likes to call its invasion of Ukraine – is dragging on, and is unsuccessful.
