In Russia, in Krasnodar, the deputy head of the city department for mobilization work, Stanislav Rzhitsky, was shot dead

Prior to that, he was the commander of the Krasnodar submarine in the Black Sea Fleet, the carrier of the Caliber missiles. From this boat, probably, they fired at Ukraine.

Rzhitsky was reportedly shot while jogging in the morning. The unidentified man shot four times in the back and chest, after which he fled the scene.

Update: (Unconfirmed) Rzytskyi, who was killed in Krasnodar, had an open profile on Strava (a mobile app for tracking sports activity via GPS), where he posted the routes of his trips and races. Source: https://t.me/thewarshal

    Anyone complicit in the invasion of a sovereign nation, who participates in the committing of atrocities against civilians and soldiers defending their homeland, who is a willing gear in the putrid dictatorship machinery of greed and brutality, deserves to live in constant mortal peril and fear.

    Hopefully this serves as a message that actions have consequences.
    Hopefully this message gets repeated again. And again. And again and again and again…

    ^EDIT: shifted the position a word, for clarity

    Wow. Krasnodar is around 300-400 km east of Crimea.

    Wonder if it was a Ukrainian assassin or a Russian rebel or something.
