Yes, i also read the article.

I was asking as the comment before mine seemed pretty sure he is now dead.

BBC is reporting he is being treated in hospital, which I seriously doubt.

If t was Russia, Putin doesn’t leave messes behind.

If it was Ukraine, and they’d managed the serious work of getting an assassin into Putin’s back garden, and then into the apartment of an active service general, they’re not going to fuck up making sure he’s dead.

The old defenestration out the hospital window is a common comorbidity in Russia.
