Journalist The Washington Examiner Tom Rogan comments on reports that the body of a Latvian (as in the original) Mikus Alps, who fought along with Ukrainian volunteers against Russia's invasion of Southeast Ukraine, was found in a burnt car on the British island of Guernsey.

"Guernsey, a small island in the English Channel, a place usually quiet and peaceful. But, according to friends-volunteers Alps, in recent months, he was increasingly threatened. According to the Ukrainian press, Alps supplied cars to Ukrainian forces fighting with militants, which Russia supports, "Rogan reports..

This determines the motive, the journalist writes: "The Russian special services are constantly trying to force those who oppose Putin's interests in Ukraine to submit".

Considering a charred car in the picture, the author writes that the fire was extremely intense, and the degree of damage and limited skeletal remains indicate "the involvement of trained killers, not ordinary thugs". "More importantly, however, the remains of the skeleton were found on the driver's seat," adds Rogan. "It gives a special fetish to Russian intelligence, which, one might say, turns death into a spectacle. Instead of simply eliminating the object, the Russians like to pass aggressive warnings ". The killers wanted to point out a special connection between the activities of Alps in Ukraine and his death, the author believes..

Rogan also recalls the recent promise of the British authorities "to take tough measures against the operations of Russian special services in the United Kingdom". This murder may be a Russian signal to London: "We can not contain".

"If indeed so, this is a warning for us," the journalist believes.. "Since the United States is now supplying Ukraine with military weapons, we must be aware that Russia, if not restrained, will go on exacerbating".
