The Kremlin has addressed reports suggesting that Artem Timofeev, a suspect in attacks on strategic Russian military airfields, may have fled to Kazakhstan, Orda.kz reports.
According to the Russian state agency TASS, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov offered a brief comment when asked whether Russia would seek assistance from Kazakhstan in locating Timofeev.
“This is more of a question for our special services, which are investigating what happened,” Peskov said.
Timofeev, a Ukrainian national, is suspected of involvement in Operation Spider Web, a drone strike on Russian military infrastructure. On June 1, drones allegedly launched from trucks registered to Timofeev targeted Defense Ministry facilities in five Russian regions.
Russian media have claimed that Timofeev and his wife left the country just days before the attacks and may have traveled to Astana.
