Zakhar Prilepin, a Russian writer who is a strong supporter of Russia's campaign in Ukraine, was severely injured in a car bombing on Saturday. The bomb was allegedly planted on the road and detonated remotely, killing his driver. A suspect, Alexander Permyakov, was caught in a neighbouring village and has admitted doing an assignment for the Ukrainian secret services, according to the Russian Investigative Committee. Prilepin's condition was initially unknown, but his spokesperson has now said he is out of a medically induced coma and "feeling well." He is stable but suffered concussion and fractures. Prilepin is one of Russia's most celebrated writers, having previously been a critic of President Vladimir Putin. However, since 2014 he has reconciled with Putin and become a strident supporter of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He has previously admitted fighting alongside pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine and has called for the "return of Kyiv to Russia."
