At the time of the shelling on the evening of December 21, Rogozin was in the Shesh-Besh restaurant on the first floor of the hotel, where he celebrated his birthday. The politician received shrapnel wounds and was hospitalized. In his opinion, information regarding his stay in this hotel “someone leaked”. Rogozin believes that the shooting was carried out from guns with a caliber of 120 or 155 mm.
Rogozin’s assistant reported that the wounded man was in a satisfactory condition. At the same time, doctors, according to him, consider the fragment that got into the spine unrecoverable.
In November of this year, Dmitry Rogozin announced that he was heading an inspection group of military advisers who were engaged in military-technical support for the DPR and LPR units participating in hostilities. The group is called the “Tsar’s Wolves” – a reference to the Russian volunteer detachments created in Yugoslavia in November 1992. Rogozin himself participated as a volunteer in the Transnistrian and Bosnian conflicts.
Decree on retired Rogozin President Vladimir Putin signed on 15 July. The post of head of Roskosmos was taken by former Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov. Ex-head of the state corporation summed up his work with the phrase: “Work, brothers.”
