Russia blames Ukrainian mum for blowing up daughter of Putin’s pal

A Ukrainian woman is being hunted by Russian hitmen after security services accused her of blowing up Putin's friend's daughter.

Natalia Shaban-Vovk, 43, has been named as the suspect who reportedly killed Darya Dugina, 29, the daughter of Alexander Dugin.

The mother, from Mariupol, is accused of being a member of the Ukrainian Azov battalion and was intentionally targeting Darya, according to local media.

Margarita Simonyan, head of Putin's mouthpiece RT, has since called for the despot's undercover agents to search for the suspect in Estonia.

The FSB claimed that Shaban-Vovk had rented an apartment in the same building where Dugina lived, and planned the operation over several weeks from her arrival in Russia on July 23.

To monitor Dugina, she used a Mini Cooper, while entering the Russian Federation, DPR number plates were used – E982XH DPR.

In Moscow – Kazakh plates were used – number 172AJD02, and when leaving for Estonian, a Ukrainian plate was used – AH7771IP.

In his first comment since his daughter’s death, Dugin, 60, demanded “more than just revenge or retribution” for her death.

He insisted on victory against Ukraine in the war.

Dugin said: “As a result of a terrorist attack carried out by the Nazi Ukrainian regime, on August 20, when returning from the festival near Moscow, my daughter Darya Dugina was brutally killed by an explosion in front of my eyes.

“She was a beautiful Orthodox girl, a patriot, a military correspondent, an expert on the central channels, and a philosopher.

“She never called for violence and war.

“She was a rising star at the beginning of her journey. The enemies of Russia meanly, surreptitiously killed her …

He added: “But we, and our people cannot be broken even by such unbearable blows.

“We need only our Victory. My daughter laid her life on its altar – so please win!

“Let this (her tragic death) inspire the sons of our Fatherland to the feat even now.”
