An unknown man shot him several times in the back. Alekseev was hospitalized.

The killer was waiting for the Lieutenant General of the Russian Defense Ministry today near an apartment building on the Volokolamsk highway. He shot at Alekseev, and then fled the scene. The officer was hospitalized in the capital’s hospital.

A criminal case has been opened under articles “attempted murder” and “illegal trafficking of firearms.”

One important aspect is worth noting: we are talking about an attempt on the life of the deputy head of the Russian delegation, which is negotiating in the United Arab Emirates.
