Prominent Russian nationalist writer Zakhar Prilepin has been wounded in a car bombing that killed his driver, with investigators claiming a detained suspect has admitted acting on Ukraine’s behalf.
EDnews informs that the attack took place three days after Russia said Ukraine attempted to hit the Kremlin with drones an incident Ukraine also denies it had anything to do with.
Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, fired back that Russia was mounting a series of false flag incidents as part of a propaganda war against the embattled nation.
Russia’s foreign ministry accused Ukraine and its allies, particularly the United States, for the latest attack on the writer, an ardent proponent of Russia’s military campaign in Ukraine.
Ukraine’s SBU security service said it could not confirm or deny involvement in the car bombing.
