Russia says man suspected of shooting top general has been detained in Dubai

Russian Federal Security Service detained Lyubomir Korba in Dubai for the attempted assassination of GRU deputy chief Alekseyev, who was critically wounded in Moscow, amid ongoing Ukraine conflict talks.

  • On Sunday, Russia's Federal Security Service said Lyubomir Korba, a Russian national in his 60s, was detained in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and handed over to Russia.
  • On Friday, Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseyev was shot several times in Moscow and hospitalised, prompting Russian investigators to open an attempted murder case after a series of attacks Moscow blamed on Ukraine.
  • According to reports, the assailant posing as a delivery person shot Alekseyev in the Volokolamskoye Highway apartment building stairwell, injuring his foot, arm, and chest; he underwent surgery and regained consciousness in a Moscow hospital.
  • Two suspects are set to be questioned and a Moscow court may hold a hearing on Sunday for pretrial detention while the FSB said an accomplice was detained in Moscow and another fled to Ukraine.
  • The shooting occurred a day after Abu Dhabi talks; Russian officials accused Ukraine of trying to disrupt negotiations while Kyiv denied involvement, and Admiral Igor Kostyukov led the Russian delegation.
