Explosion in Moscow

As reported by the Shot channel, the explosion occurred after Prozorov started the engine. The man was hospitalized with injuries to his legs.

As reported by Censor.NET, unofficial information suggests that the former SBU officer has sustained severe injuries to his lower limbs.

As reported by Baza, in February 2023, it was revealed that the Russian special services had thwarted an attack on Prozorov. A Land Cruiser owned by Prozorov exploded near a house by the Korovinskoye highway.

Betrayed Ukraine, cooperated with the Russians

In March 2019, Vasyl Prozorov announced at a press conference in Moscow that from April 2014 until his resignation in 2018, he worked with Russia "for ideological reasons." He claimed to have been part of the SBU's counterterrorism center, allegedly overseeing operations in the Donbas.

The SBU stated it dismissed Prozorov for drunkenness and "discrediting the officer rank." Ukrainian intelligence branded him a traitor.
