Russia’s notorious former space chief Rogozin wounded in shelling

Dmitry Rogozin – who has called for the extermination of Ukraine –  was in Russian-occupied Donetsk, but someone ratted him out to the Ukrainians who launched some artillery at him.

It should be pointed out that Rogozin got into “Twitter spat” with Musk back in May, threatening him for supplying Ukrainians with Starlink terminals. Determine for yourself it if would be “ironic” or “poetic justice” or “downright hilarious” if Starlink was used to transmit intelligence on Rogozin’s location or to aim ordnance.
