Ukraine official casts doubt on one of main versions of Amina Okueva's murder

"I had a meeting recently where I got a confirmation from my interlocutor that our “big brother”[Russia] had nothing to do with the latest incidents. I mean, that weird explosion outside the Espresso TV HQ and the deplorable murder of Amina Okueva," Tuka said in an interview with Apostrophe, reminding that an unsuccessful attempt had been carried out earlier on Akuyeva’s husband, Adam Osmayev.

"I have the impression that this time the attempt was also aimed at Adam Osmayev, not at Amina, but it was she who died, not the assassination target... In that case, it was just some rookie performance. How can we be talking about any professional level here at all?" the deputy minister said.
