Assassination attempt on Prilepin is powerful blow against Russian propaganda system

This was stated by Russian opposition leader Ilya Ponomarev on Espreso TV.

"Nowadays, Prilepin is a certain symbol and, of course, it is not a military target. As a person who had a significant impact on Russian society, the so-called Z-environment, this was a significant blow to the Russian propaganda system and it will be useful for Ukraine in the end in terms of future victory," he said.

• An Audi Q7 carrying Zakhar Prilepin, Russian propagandist writer and ideologue who supports the armed invasion of Ukraine, who also took part in battles with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, has exploded in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
