The investigation established that Lyubomir Korba, who shot at the general, arrived in Moscow in December 2025 with the aim of carrying out a terrorist act, having received corresponding instructions from Ukrainian services.
According to investigators, Korba is originally from the Ternopil region and is currently a citizen of Russia. He was arrested after his extradition from Dubai.
The accomplice of the killer, Viktor Vasin, has already been charged with illegal arms trafficking and attempted murder of a serviceman.
Vasin, who previously served as an officer and held the position of head of security at one of the Moscow companies, met Lyubomir Korba in 2015 at officer training courses. Since then, they maintained contact, and it was Vasin, according to the investigation, who provided the killer with the weapon.
Another woman also participated in the assassination attempt; she rented an apartment in the same building as the general on the 26th floor. She gathered information about him by communicating with neighbors.
Zinaida Antonyuk, 54 years old, changed her surname to Serebrytskaya upon obtaining Russian citizenship. In December 2025, she moved to the same building where Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseev lives, on Volokolamskoye Highway. During this time, she could have passed information about the general to the killer Korba, and after the assassination attempt, she fled to Ukraine.
The assassination attempt on the general occurred on the morning of February 6, when the killer was waiting for Alekseev on the landing of his building. As a result of the shooting, the general sustained injuries to his limbs, abdomen, and chest, leading to significant blood loss, and he was urgently taken to intensive care.
As reported by Svetlana Petrenko, the official representative of the Investigative Committee, the agency has initiated a criminal case under articles concerning attempted murder and illegal arms trafficking. The Prosecutor's Office of Moscow has taken the investigation under special control.
