The Russian Interior Ministry has put Darya Trepova on the wanted list, suspected of killing military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky yesterday in a St. Petersburg cafe.
Interfax reports it.
Previously it appeared that the woman had already been arrested.
The assassination of Russian ultranationalist military blogger Maksim Fomin, alias Vladlen Tatarsky, in a bar owned by Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner Group, in St. Petersburg could reveal further rifts within the Kremlin and its inner circle.
The US think tank Isw (Institute for the study of the war) writes it in its latest report.
ISW analysts define Prigozhin's statement as 'strange', saying that he would not have "blamed the Kiev regime" for the deaths of Fomin and Daria Dugina (assassinated in August), indicating a group of Russian radicals as responsible .
The well-known nationalist blogger and Russian war correspondent, Vladlen Tatarsky, was killed in the explosion in a coffee bar in St. Petersburg, near the University.
This was reported by the emergency services cited by the Russian media.
The TASS agency specifies that the explosion was caused by more than 200 grams of TNT.
The number of people injured has risen to 32, of which 10 are in serious condition.
This was reported by the press service of the Russian Ministry of Health quoted by RIA Novosti.
"The condition of ten victims is assessed as serious, 16 in a state of moderate severity, including a 30-year-old girl, five people are in satisfactory condition," a ministry statement said.
Russia's Interior Ministry has confirmed the death of blogger and "war correspondent" Vladlen Tatarsky in a cafe explosion in central St. Petersburg.
The Tax reports it.
"At 18.13 on April 2, 2023, the police received information about an explosion on Universitetsjaya embankment. As a result, one person died. It was war correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky. Sixteen people were injured," the press service of the ministry told Tass
Tatarsky was invited to the Kremlin on the occasion of the ceremony with which Vladimir Putin signed the unilateral annexation of the four Ukrainian regions of Donbass (Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia) last September.
On that occasion, Tass recalls, the blogger shot a video of the Russian president's speech.
Tatarsky, the nationalist who denounced the failures in Ukraine
"Until we find out the name of this military genius who placed the tactical battalion near the river, and he doesn't publicly answer for it, there will be no reform in the army."
With this vitriolic post on Telegram, published a year ago, Vladlen Tatarsky criticized the inefficiency of the Russian armed forces in Ukraine.
The Russian ultranationalist blogger who was killed today in an attack in a cafe in St. Petersburg was called Maksim Fomin, and used the pseudonym "Vladlen Tatarsky" (a name that derives from a great novel by Viktor Pelevin).
With a long experience of war in the Donbass from 2014 to 2015, alongside the Donetsk separatists, he had become one of the most followed pro-Moscow military bloggers, with hundreds of thousands of followers.
and was considered very close to the leader of the Wagner mercenaries Yevgeny Prigozhin.
The Tass agency said of him that since the beginning of the war in Ukraine he "daily analyzed the course of the operation and gave advice to the mobilized".
But in reality he spared no criticism of the commands for failures on the ground.
In particular, in the Telegram post of May 2022, he denounced the defeat suffered by the Russians in the failed crossing of the Seversky Donetsk river.
"The offensive in Donbass - observed Tatarsky - is hampered not only by the lack of effective information from drones but also by the lack of top-level generals".
