It is noted that doctors are currently fighting for his life.

“Law enforcement officers are identifying suspects in the assassination of a judge of the Supreme Court of the DPR,” the Interior Ministry added.

In September, the deputy head of the administration of Berdyansk in the Zaporozhye region for housing and communal services and his wife, who headed the city's territorial election commission, were killed.
