Hey there! Here's a lowdown on the latest happenings. A blogger and public activist, Sergei Sternenko, survived an assassination attempt, according to the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). The shooting happened on May 1, and he was hit in the buttock near his Kyiv residence, protected by SBU security.
Sergei Sternenko, a prominent figure in anti-corruption and pro-Ukrainian activism, has previously faced three attempts on his life in 2018, thanks to his activism activities. He's the head of the public organization "Nebayduzhi" and former leader of the Odessa branch of the Right Sector, an organization banned in Russia.
