Car Bomb in Moscow Injures Former Aide to Exiled Ukrainian Politician
Russian authorities are investigating a car bomb explosion in Moscow targeting Sergei Zavorotniy, a former aide to exiled Ukrainian politician Mykola Azarov. Zavorotniy was hospitalized with serious injuries, including the loss of his left arm. This incident follows a similar car bomb attack in St Petersburg that killed a Russian military member. Russian media and officials have linked such attacks to Ukraine, though Kyiv has not commented. Azarov and Yanukovych fled to Russia after Ukraine's 2014 Maidan protests.
