| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The Russian FSB opened a criminal case into the assassination attempt on former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oleg Tsarev. The department's Public Relations Center (PRC) reported this on October 27. “On the night of October 26-27, 2023, an attempt was made on the life of the Russian social and political figure Oleg Anatolyevich Tsarev in Yalta. Based on this fact, the FSB of Russia has opened a criminal case under Article 277 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Encroachment on the life of a state or public figure”),” the statement says. It is noted that urgent operational and investigative measures and investigative actions are currently being carried out. As reported by IA Regnum, the head of the “We are together with Russia” movement, Vladimir Rogov, reported on October 27 that Tsarev was in intensive care in a very serious condition; he had been shot. The attempt on the life of the ex-deputy was confirmed by the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin , who noted that detailed information will appear based on the results of the work of law enforcement officers. Tsarev’s relatives also confirmed the fact of the attempt on his life. As it became known, the ex-deputy was shot twice. When the ambulance arrived, he was unconscious and had lost a lot of blood. There is no information about the criminal, and there is also no information about the condition of the wounded politician. In May, in Ukraine, Tsarev and two other ex-deputies were accused in absentia of treason. The SBU stated that there was evidence of this and accused the deputy of allegedly collaborating with the Russian Ministry of Defense. Tsarev was a deputy of the Rada of the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh convocations and deputy head of the Party of Regions faction. He is known for his pro-Russian views and publicly defended the interests of the Russian-speaking population of Donbass and Crimea. He was one of the first to support the creation of the DPR and LPR and condemned the actions of the Kyiv regime. |
