Lt Gen Vladimir Alexeyev was immediately taken to hospital after the attack in a residential block of flats on the north-western outskirts of the Russian capital and his condition is unknown.
Alexeyev is number two in the main directorate of Russia’s GRU military intelligence and the latest high-ranking military figure to have been targeted in the capital since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began almost four years ago.
He was placed under European Union and UK sanctions after the GRU was accused of being behind the 2018 nerve agent attack in Salisbury in the UK.

Thank you for sharing this joyous Friday news, OP.
not joyous enough. If he was a normal person shit like this would be posted in “uplifting news”
Happy day! This single orphan was spared from the orphan crushing machine!
Several, but not enough, times. I hope hospital negligence will fix that.
the russian healthcare system is one of the best in the world, that’s why Jordan Peterson chose there for his drug addiction recuperation coma. /s
Russian medical care is worse than no care at all.
I think that all depends on who wants you to live versus who wants you to die.
Regular person, it’s going to be better than nothing.
A general? Really really is going to depend

Navalny was saved by excellent medical care.
The doctors and emt that saved him, administerng atropine on the scene, later died of mysterious heart ailments. Despite being virile healthy men.
I am sure that hospitals for rich and important people in russia are top notch, they can cure almost anything except the falling out of windows epidemics.
You reminded me to search about the current condition of the young Don-Don. That piece of shit provoked a car crash a few weeks ago and was put in the hospital in a rather bad shape.
gravity is a harsh mistress
if only Russia could just be normal, it could have actually become a great nation
As always a bunch of greedy and murderous rich thugs are very effective at fucking everything up. An eternal story really.
Russia always amazes me in that they’ve never had a leader who was both competent and sane.
Here’s hoping him and Mitch McConnell share a cramped room in hell…
I think mitch hit the ditch years ago. What we see is just a dead husk, powered by the delicious licks of fascist boots (and no doubt the raging racism that also breaths it life).
And Musk.
Was it a Ukraine supporter or was this attempted suicide?
Obvious suicide.
He fell down.
He get too drunk and decided to clean his firearm. Typical gun safety negligence. /j
I hope he doesn’t make it.
I’ll assume that this wasn’t the Ukrainians, because they’d have finished the job.
He’s the second in command of the GRU - he would be a priority target for the GUR and would not go anywhere without a bodyguard somewhere near.
Assassins of any origin have life plans too, they don’t want to be pinned down into a firefight with people who have lots of backup coming fast. The assassin did his job, which may yet prove successful, and did his best to get out fast.
Very high chance Putin did this over a disagreement.
That’s not Putin’s handwriting.
Not enough windows and polonium
He’s alive, so unlikely
A bullet must be preferable to a window
Clearly a suicide attempt.
Traitor!
Its what he gets for not going up in tall buildings.
Cool 🎈🎉🎊
Hated by his own people.
He survived. Sad times.
There’s always next time.
