Russian nationalist writer Zakhar Prilépine was wounded in the "explosion" of his car in Russia, an attack that Moscow blames on Ukraine. This incident, which killed the writer's driver, comes as drone strikes, sabotage and alleged attacks have multiplied in recent weeks on Russian territory.

The Kremlin blames Ukraine, which denies, as a major offensive by the Ukrainian armed forces and the major celebrations in Russia of May 9, the day of victory against Hitler, looms. On Wednesday, an alleged drone attack hit a building in the Kremlin, the heart of Russian power.
