Artyom Bardin, a Russian-installed official in the city of Berdiansk in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, was injured in a car bombing on Tuesday, according to local collaborationist authorities. Bardin’s car reportedly exploded outside of the city administration building. Occupation officials, who are calling the explosion a terrorist attack, said Bardin was hospitalized and is now in critical condition.
Zvezda, a TV network controlled by the Russian Defense Ministry, posted a video that purportedly shows the aftermath of the explosion.
