Senior Russian military officer injured in shooting in Moscow on Friday. The Russian Federal Investigative Committee stated that 64-year-old Russian Army Major General Vladimir Alekseyev was shot several times outside a residential building in the northwest of the capital and has been hospitalized with serious injuries, and the attacker fled after the incident. The investigation agency has opened an investigation for "attempted murder" and has obtained surveillance video and questioned witnesses. Local residents said they heard multiple gunshots in the early hours and then someone cried for help, and police and medical personnel arrived at the scene quickly. Alekseyev is one of the main officials of the Russian Military Intelligence Directorate (GRU). Since the full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine broke out in 2022, he has become one of several high-ranking Russian officials who have been attacked in Moscow or its vicinity. Russian officials quickly accused Ukraine of trying to disrupt the ceasefire negotiation process through "terrorist acts," while the Ukrainian side has not commented so far.
