According to current and former Western security officials, quoted by The Washington Post, it is unlikely that Ukraine was behind the assassination attempt on General Vladimir Alekseev. According to them, it is more likely the result of internal struggles.
"The attack on Lieutenant General Alekseev confirmed the intention of the Zelensky regime to break off the negotiations". This was stated yesterday by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
According to the publication, the Russian authorities have not provided evidence, and some experts suggest that Alekseev may have had enemies in Russia itself.
TASS reports that Alekseev is now conscious, and his life is out of danger. Some Russian media write that there are two detainees.
