alphacyberrangerPutin's colonel killed in drone strike while mowing lawn at his Russian residence
ChainweaselBy Ukraine or Russia?
Alexei Chernykh of Russia’s anti-corruption police was killed while doing garden work at his country cottage in Shchetinovka, Russia - just 1,000ft from the Ukraine border.
If he was with the anti-corruption police, it might have been someone in the military (with access to drones) that he was investigating for corruption.
Or, and this might be a crazy theory, if he was only 1k feet from the Ukrainian border, maybe, just maybe, Ukraine got him, since he would be a high profile target and Russia is currently at war with Ukraine. He worked for Putin, so despite the “anti-corruption” title, the chances of him actually going after real corruption is slim to none. “Corruption” in this case probably just means “whoever Putin is mad at atm”.
