Moscow-installed authorities also reported Friday an assassination attempt on a former pro-Russian Ukrainian lawmaker. Oleg Tsaryov, an ex-MP and Moscow-backed anti-Kyiv separatist, was in serious condition Friday after being shot twice at around midnight in the resort where he lives.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has carried out a special operation to assassinate Oleh Tsarov, a former Ukrainian lawmaker and traitor to Ukraine.
Tsarov has long been on the list of traitors who face justice for their crimes and is, therefore, an absolutely legitimate target.
He is not just a fanatic of the 'Russian world', but a person who personally came with Russian tanks to capture Kyiv.
Two shots from a firearm have hit Tsarov.
