Reut described the incident as follows: he was unaware of Beresovskaya's intention to kill her, and Zhikovitch told him that the woman needed to be taken and hidden because she faced danger; however, on the way to a secret location, Zhikovitch retrieved a pistol and loaded it. Once they were in a forest strip with Beresovskaya, he signaled Reut with gestures that he should shoot; the GUR employee refused, so Zhikovitch shot the woman himself.
