Marina Yankina, 58, was head of the financial support department of the Ministry of Defense which is directly involved in financing Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

And just last week, Major General Vladimir Makarov - a Russian general who was recently fired by Putin - was found dead in a suspected suicide. His fingerprints were on the gun anyway.

A top defence official in Russia has been found dead after plunging from a high window in a tower block, in the latest mysterious death of a high-ranking official.

Marina Yankina, 58, was discovered by a passerby at the entrance of a house on Zamshina Street in St Petersburg. She is believed to have fallen 160ft to her death.

She was a key figure in the funding of Vladimir Putin's illegal war in Ukraine.

Yankina was head of the financial support department of the Ministry of Defence for the Western Military District which is closely involved in the dictator's invasion.

The Russian Investigative Committee and the press service of the Western Military District 'Fontanka' both confirmed her death, and are probing her mystery fall.

She is the latest of many Russians to have plunged to their deaths during Putin's long rule. Just last week, Major General Vladimir Makarov - a Russian general who was recently fired by Putin - was found dead in a suspected suicide.

And the former General fired by Putin.
