RT: Ex-Russian space boss wounded in ‘targeted’ Ukrainian attack
NATO-supplied artillery was reportedly used in a deadly strike on a hotel in Donetsk
One person has died and several were wounded after three projectiles struck a hotel on the south side of Donetsk on Wednesday evening.
Among the wounded were former Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin and Deputy Prime Minister of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Vitaly Khotsenko.
“I was wounded in the back. Will survive. Shrapnel got within a centimeter from the spine,” Rogozin told RT from the hospital. “I will stay in Donetsk with my wounded comrades.”

WNU Editor: When I first started this blog I got into a few arguments with Dmitry Rogozin in the comments section. He was a regular reader of the blog, followed WNU on Twitter, and he was always disagreeing with me on my views on what political/economic/and foreign policy direction Russia should take.
I always enjoyed our discussions, but when he was appointed by Putin to be Russia's ambassador to NATO and later Deputy Prime Minister he had to stop making his views public.
He is a hardcore Russian nationalist, who I believe fell out of favor with Putin a few months ago. The fact that he is in Ukraine does not surprise me, nor the fact that Ukraine wants him dead.

Rogozin is an interesting guy. Kind of the Russian version of Elon Musk with a strong nationalist flavour. Now that I think of it Russia has quite a number of these characters. I’m thinking of Strelkov, who is very critical of Putin and the SMO, and the small cadre of dedicated military reporters Pegov and others on Telegram. Anyway WNU keep up the good work and all the best to you and the family.
