Quick Summary

Russia's Investigative Committee opened an investigation on Friday into a car explosion in Moscow involving a vehicle reportedly belonging to Sergei Zavorotniy, a former spokesman for a Ukrainian Prime Minister who has lived in Russia since 2014. The Russian newspaper Kommersant reported that Zavorotniy was hospitalized following the blast, which occurred just one day after a military member was killed in a separate car bombing in St. Petersburg. The report frames these events as part of a series of apparent assassination attempts inside Russia.

AI analysis

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
