  • Introduction to Video Content
  • A well-known military blogger in St. Petersburg, Vladlen Tatarsky, was killed in an explosion at a cafe, and a Russian anti-war campaigner, Daria Trepova, has been arrested in connection with the incident. Trepova was detained in a St. Petersburg flat and taken away by the police. CCTV footage allegedly shows her walking into the cafe carrying a box with a statuette, which police believe exploded after it was given to Tatarsky. In a video released by the authorities, Trepova admits to handing over the statuette but refuses to reveal who gave it to her. The explosion resulted in Tatarsky's death and over 30 people getting injured. The incident has raised speculations about political infighting in Russia as a possible motive, although Russia claims it was organized by Ukrainian special forces and supporters of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
