A pro-Russian Ukrainian politician has suffered serious injuries after being shot.
Oleg Tsaryov is in intensive care following the incident, a Russian official confirmed on Friday.
Mr Tsaryov was reported to have been lined up by Moscow to lead a puppet administration in Kyiv after Russia’s invasion.
‘Oleg’s condition is very serious. He is currently in intensive care,’ said Vladimir Rogov, a senior Russian-installed official in southern Ukraine.
It’s not yet known where the shooting happened.
Despite reports suggesting Mr Tsaryov would head up a Russian-controlled government in Ukraine, he denied the claims.
He previously told the Financial Times that the idea was ‘pretty funny’ because he was just running a wellness business in Crimea and was ‘not important enough’.
