British newspaper The Telegraph reported that Igor Mangushev was taken to a hospital in the town of Stakhanov early Saturday with a “close range” gunshot wound to the head.
According to The New Voice of Ukraine, citing unverified doctors’ reports, Mangushev was shot “execution-stye” at a checkpoint in the Russian-occupied region of Luhansk Oblast.
He survived but is now being treated for the gunshot wound by a neurosurgery department at a hospital in Kaddivka, in eastern Ukraine, the outlet said.
The Institute for the Study of War, an American think tank, said on Saturday that Mangushev had ties to the private military contractor the Wagner Group.
It also noted that Mangushev gained notoriety for a stunt involving the skull of what he said was a Ukrainian soldier who had died at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol.
