Moscow, August 9, 2024, 17:53 — IA Regnum. Russia and its people are capable of withstanding and surviving any enemy attacks, just as VGTRK correspondent Yevgeny Poddubny was able to stay alive after the Ukrainian drone attack, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on August 9.

This is how she reacted to the first footage of the war correspondent after he was wounded. They show how the wounded correspondent himself went out onto the road, stopped a passing car and asked for a ride to the hospital.
"So that everyone knows: enemies, foes, "not a friend, not an enemy, but just like that" - let's all stand up and go! Like Zhenya Poddubny the day before yesterday, like the men on the front lines every day, like all of Kursk today, like our country historically," she wrote on the Telegram channel.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on the evening of August 7, Poddubny was wounded as a result of an attack by a Ukrainian drone in the Kursk region. The journalist himself reached the side of the road, where a driver from Sudzha saw him and brought him to an intermediate aid point. The war correspondent was hospitalized in the regional hospital.
On August 8, Poddubny was taken to the Sklifosovsky Institute of Emergency Care. The director of the medical institution noted that the war correspondent's condition remains serious but stable, and doctors have not yet observed any significant dynamics.
The Russian Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case on attempted murder and obstruction of journalistic activity in connection with the wounding of Poddubny.
