HIMARS Strike: Russian Boxer Valuev Nearly Killed In Lysychansk

The Russian State Duma deputy came under fire while staying in occupied territory.

Russian boxer and Russian MP Nikolai Valuyev has told how he was almost killed in the occupied territory - in Luhansk.

According to the former boxer, the incident happened while visiting Luhansk. At the moment when the ex-athlete entered the command post, a missile from a US rocket system flew into the room. The shell, unfortunately, miraculously did not detonate, writes Starhit.

"We entered the command post and at that moment a HIMARS hit there, but it did not explode. A man who was resting in the next room was killed. His legs were blown off and he died of blood loss. This all happened in front of us," the boxer-Putinist said.
