We are talking about the representative of Putin’s faction “United Russia” Viktor Vodolatsky, reports “Interfax” with reference to the statement of representatives of the so-called formation of the LPR – the Luhansk People’s Republic.
Vodolatsky holds the position of First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots. He consistently supports the invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine and is on the EU, US, UK and several other countries’ sanctions lists.
On May 12, the invaders celebrated the so-called “Day of the Republic” in Lugansk. Vodolatsky, in particular, took part in the ceremonial events. According to the propagandists, the Ukrainian military has now carried out two missile attacks on the industrial facility of the city where the delegation was staying.
When exactly Vodolatsky was wounded is not clear. On the evening of May 12, he commented against the background of the building of the enterprise, which was attacked. Everything was fine with him. At the same time, sounds of detonation were heard behind the back of the deputy.
