Russian generals' assassinations expose growing rift inside Putin's security apparatus

Russian military officials have requested security measures following deaths of several generals, according to reports citing unnamed sources familiar with internal discussions. At least three Russian generals have been killed since the invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, though circumstances vary. The FSB, Russia's primary security service, and the Russian military have distinct organizational structures and command chains. No named official has publicly confirmed the specific nature or extent of any internal friction between the two institutions.
