Explosion in Moscow
The Shot channel reported that the explosion occurred as Prozorov started the engine, resulting in his hospitalization due to leg injuries.
According to Censor.NET, unofficial sources indicate Prozorov suffered severe lower limb injuries.
Baza revealed that in February 2023, Russian special services had thwarted an attack on Prozorov. A Land Cruiser owned by Prozorov exploded near his home by the Korovinskoye highway.
Betrayed Ukraine, cooperated with the Russians
In March 2019, Vasyl Prozorov disclosed at a Moscow press conference that he had collaborated with Russia “for ideological reasons” from April 2014 until his resignation in 2018. He claimed his work was within the SBU's counterterrorism center, focusing on operations in Donbas.
The SBU dismissed Prozorov for drunkenness and for “discrediting the rank of an officer.” He was labeled a traitor by Ukrainian intelligence.
