Russia’s top investigative agency on Saturday said the suspect in a car bombing that injured a prominent pro-Kremlin novelist and killed his driver has admitted acting at the behest of Ukraine’s special services.
The blast that hit the car of Zakhar Prilepin, a well-known nationalist writer and an ardent supporter of Russia’s war in Ukraine, was the third explosion involving prominent pro-Kremlin figures since the start of the conflict.
It took place in the region of Nizhny Novgorod, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) east of Moscow.
Russia’s Investigative Committee said the suspect was a Ukrainian native and had admitted under questioning that he was working under orders from Ukraine.
The Foreign Ministry in turn blamed not only Ukraine but the United States as well.
“Responsibility for this and other terrorist acts lies not only with the Ukrainian authorities, but with their Western patrons, in the first place, the United States, who since the coup d’etat of February 2014 have painstakingly nurtured the anti-Russian neo-Nazi project in Ukraine,” the ministry said, referring to the 2014 uprising in Kyiv that forced the Russia-friendly president to flee.
In August 2022, a car bombing on the outskirts of Moscow killed Daria Dugina, the daughter of an influential Russian political theorist often referred to as “Putin’s brain.” The authorities alleged that Ukraine was behind the blast.
Last month, an explosion in a cafe in St. Petersburg killed a popular military blogger, Vladlen Tatarsky. Officials once again blamed Ukrainian intelligence agencies.

another obviously-staged bit of Russian propaganda ... just like the bogus “Ukrainian drone attack” on the Kremlin LOL
guess morale is sinking in the Motherland, if Russia has to resort to clumsy tricks like this
Uke terrorist attacks trying to provoke Russia into retaliation to generate international outrage.
Where is the international outrage for Uke bombing attacks on civilians and on family members of government employees?
US sponsored terrorism.
Look up Darya Dugina, who died on August 20 when the car she was traveling in exploded, was a political commentator for the International Eurasian Movement, which is led by her father, Aleksandr Dugin.
Darya Dugina.
Terrorism, plain and simple. They are trying to provoke a Russian attack on Uke politicians so they can claim outrage.
Just another rus nazi pig bites the dust.
Funny how it is only minor Russian figures on the edges of Russian politics who are targeted by these bombings. People who have no real power or influence and tend toward slightly more extreme views than the Russian government.
All by groups who have no confirmation of their claimed actions. When the FSB would go full KGB or Stasi on them if they were a real threat to the Russian government. Then have a few show trials to send a message.
Nothing to suspect here. /s
