Former St. Petersburg media committee chairman Sergei Serezleev suffered serious injuries during combat in Ukraine. He told reporters he was hurt two months ago defending a position in the Luhansk region. His medical condition remains stable as he continues treatment, according to the Fontanka news site.
Serezleev explained his decision to serve in the military operation: "Every man must make a certain choice for himself. I am an officer with the rank of major. I thought my help would not be superfluous at this time." He joined the special military operation in November 2024.
The ex-official led the St. Petersburg Press Committee from 2015 until March 2019, when he lost his job following a controversial audit by the Accounts Chamber. Vladimir Ryabovol replaced him as committee head after his dismissal. This news comes after recent reports about other officials from the region, including a Primorye vice-governor and a lawyer from St. Petersburg, also dying in the conflict zone.
