A car bomb exploded in southern Moscow on Friday morning, severely injuring Sergei Zavorotniy, 72, a former senior aide to Ukraine’s exiled former prime minister, Mykola Azarov. Russian media reported that Zavorotniy was in an induced coma after losing his left arm in the blast. He also suffered a concussion, fractured ribs and other injuries. Russia’s Investigative Committee said it had launched a criminal investigation. A 2020 report by the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence identified Zavorotniy as an officer of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, or SVR, involved in influence operations. The Moscow explosion occurred a day after a car bomb in St Petersburg killed a Russian air force colonel whose name has not been publicly released. Fontanka reported that the colonel was killed by a remotely detonated bomb planted by a 31-year-old suspect. According to the outlet, the suspect had tracked the colonel’s movements for months after getting a job at a nearby shop and reportedly fled Russia for Moldova via Turkey on Thursday morning. Ukraine has not commented on either attack. https://ekonomininsesi.com/en/moscow-car-bomb-severely-injures-former-aide-to-ukraines-pro-russia-ex-pm-34137
