"A senior Russian general, who is deputy head of the GRU, the country's main foreign military intelligence agency, was shot and severely wounded in an assassination attempt on Friday at his home in Moscow, Russian law enforcement authorities said. "An unidentified individual fired several shots" at Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alekseyev, the deputy intelligence chief, inside a residential building in northwest Moscow, investigators said."
"The attack occurred the day after Russian, Ukrainian and U.S. officials concluded two days of talks in Abu Dhabi aimed at halting Russia's war - with little or no progress. At the end of the meetings, Washington and Moscow said that they were reestablishing military contact, which had been suspended because of the war. But there was no breakthrough, as Russia continues to demand that Ukraine surrender territory in exchange for a ceasefire."

An unidentified individual fired several shots at Alekseyev inside a residential building in northwest Moscow, and he was being treated at a hospital. The Kremlin blamed Ukraine without providing evidence, while some Russian commentators said Alekseyev may have had domestic enemies. The attack followed two days of talks in Abu Dhabi among Russian, Ukrainian and U.S. officials aimed at halting the war, where no ceasefire breakthrough occurred.
