"Hit by HIMARS": Valuyev came under fire in the "LNR"

Former world heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuyev told how he allegedly almost died during a visit to the temporarily occupied regions of the Luhansk region. A deputy of the State Duma and an ardent fan of the war in Ukraine came under fire in a terrorist command post.

Valuyev himself told about it in an interview with the Telegram channel "Abzatz". In the best traditions of Kremlin propaganda, the ex-boxer attributed any shelling of the occupants' positions to a hit from the HIMARS multiple rocket launcher, which puts fear into the Russian aggressors.

"The last time we came to Lysychansk - it was after the new year - the command post was entered and a HIMARS just hit there, but it didn't explode. A man who was resting in the next room was killed. He passed away from blood loss, unfortunately. We went into that room and there was a crater under the bed and a rocket shank sticking out. When we went out to the outskirts to talk to the guys, there were tank men repairing equipment out in the open. These guys know. It was a couple of kilometers to the front line. You could hear the bangs and they say, 'No, it's not coming at us. They know everything," said Valuev.

Earlier, the former boxer with the words "scum chubata" joined the threats of Russian propagandists against Alexander Usik, who visited the positions of the soldiers of the AFU.

As reported by OBOZREVATEL, former world champion in three weight categories Vasyl Lomachenko said how he reacted to Russia's military invasion of Ukraine but said nothing about the aggression of the Russian Federation and did not condemn it.
