Pro-Russian Ukrainian Politician Reported In Intensive Care After Being Shot

Former Ukrainian lawmaker Oleh Tsaryov, a pro-Russian figure who was reported to have been lined up by Moscow to lead a puppet administration in Kyiv after Russia's invasion, is in intensive care after being shot, a Russian-installed official said on October 27. The attack took place in Yalta on the southern tip of the Crimean Peninsula. A post on Tsaryov's Telegram page attributed to his family said he was “shot twice on the premises of the sanatorium where he lives," adding that he was unconscious when the ambulance arrived. Russia's top investigative body said it opened a criminal inquiry.
