In the capital of the Russian Federation, Moscow, a car carrying a former employee of the Security Service of Ukraine who fled to Russia exploded.

The explosion occurred on Friday, April 12, as reported by Russian media. Telegram channels published a video of the explosion and its aftermath.

A black Toyota Land Cruiser Prado SUV in Moscow flew into the air after 12 noon.

Russian propaganda media subsequently began to report that the car’s owner was former SSU lieutenant colonel Vasyl Prozorov, who fled to Russia several years ago.

It is known that the man survived, but according to media reports, his legs and left arm were injured in the explosion. He was taken to the hospital.

The published video from Moscow shows that the explosion occurred as soon as the driver got into the car.

The incident occurred in a parking lot near a residential building on Korovinsky Highway in the north of the aggressor country’s capital. The epicenter of the explosion was under the driver’s seat.

Prozorov worked for the Security Service of Ukraine until 2018, but was fired due to incompetence. He subsequently fled to Russia, where in March 2018, the Russians organized a “press conference” at which the traitor claimed to had been working for Russia since April 2014.

He claimed that he had had access to classified data on the anti-terrorist operation in Donbas and even attended closed meetings of the National Security and Defense Council. Prozorov also voiced the thesis about the Russian invasion of Donbas, which was actively used by Russian propaganda at the time.

Later, the SSU press service confirmed in a commentary that Prozorov had done indeed work for the Security Service of Ukraine and stated:

“Vasyl Prozorov was dismissed from his position as a senior consultant-expert in one of the departments of the Anti-Terrorist Center of the Security Service of Ukraine due to official incompetence: systematic alcohol consumption at the workplace, discrediting the rank of officer. Having lost the honor of an officer due to drunkenness, Prozorov decided to trade his conscience and military oath, finding ‘worthy’ people in the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation.”

In its report, the SSU called Prozorov a traitor who voiced “hackneyed fakes.”
