Andrey “Murz” Morozov’s lawyer confirmed the death of the 44-year-old pro-war blogger and soldier. Relatives of the activist explained that he had committed suicide the same morning, even though he himself had announced his action.

He was in the crosshairs of the Russian authorities, in particular for having denounced the loss of 16,000 soldiers during the capture of Avdiivka, via a post published on his Telegram channel.
