Russian military official in hospital after being shot in Moscow, state media report
MOSCOW: A senior Russian military official, Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alexeyev, was rushed to hospital after being shot in Moscow on Friday, state media reported, citing investigators.
Alexeyev is deputy chief of the Main Directorate of the General Staff at the Defense Ministry. When Russian mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin staged a short-lived mutiny in June 2023, Alexeyev was one of the top officials who were sent to negotiate with him.
Several senior Russian military officials have been assassinated since the start of the war in Ukraine, with Moscow blaming the attacks on Kyiv.
