Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[INTERFAX.RU] The FSB announced the disclosure of the murder of journalist Darya Dugin, daughter of public figure Alexander Dugin, accusing the Ukrainian special services of the crime.

"The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, as a result of a complex of urgent operational-search measures, has solved the murder of Russian journalist Daria Daria, born in 1992," the FSB Public Relations Center (CSP) said on Monday.

According to the secret service, "the crime was prepared and committed by the Ukrainian special services."
Oh?
"The contractor is a citizen of Ukraine Vovk Natalya Pavlovna, born in 1979, who arrived in Russia on July 23, 2022, together with her daughter Shaban Sofia Mikhailovna, born in 2010," the FSB reported.
Why would an assassin travel with a twelve year old child?
The CSO noted that after the commission of the crime, "Vovk, together with her daughter, left through the Pskov region to Estonia."

According to the FSB, "in order to organize the murder of Dugina and obtain information about her lifestyle, they rented an apartment in Moscow in the house where the deceased lived."

To observe the journalist, the suspects used a Mini Cooper car, and at the entrance to Russia they used the numbers of the Donetsk People's Republic - E982ХН DPR, in Moscow - Kazakh numbers - 172AJD02, and when leaving - Ukrainian - AH7771IP.

"On the day of the murder, Vovk and Shaban were at the Tradition literary and musical festival, where Dugina was present as an honored guest," the security service said.

The FSB reported that the materials of the investigation were transferred to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.

Dugina's car was blown up on Saturday evening near the village of Bolshie Vyazemy, Moscow Region. The girl died on the spot. On this fact, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case . The department noted that the murder is custom-made.

Meanwhile, ex-State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev, put on the international wanted list by Russia (recognized in the Russian Federation as a foreign media agent), said on Sunday on the Youtube channel that a certain “National Republican Army” was involved in the death of Dugina, operating allegedly on the territory of Russia, whose representatives turned to Ponomarev for "methodological and material assistance."

Ponomarev left Russia in 2014 after an embezzlement case was opened against him. In 2019, he received Ukrainian citizenship.

#7  From VK.com

RIA Novosti correspondent was the first journalist to visit the house where a Ukrainian citizen suspected of killing Daria Dugina lived. Relatives said that she left for Europe a month ago and did not appear in her apartment in Mariupol, and also confirmed that she served in the Ukrainian troops.

#6  Note that the FSB indicates the daughter was the target not the father. Scuttlebutt is she was tracking the funding behind Bellingcat - but she was one of the names on the July UK sanctions list
