Anatoly Shariy, a Ukrainian blogger, has publicly urged Russian intelligence agencies to launch a thorough probe into an assassination attempt he says took place in Spain. He shared his request through his own Telegram channel, presenting it as a matter of urgent concern that demands professional, high-quality investigative work from the authorities involved.
In his messaging, Shariy contends that the Spanish security apparatus is not operating with the level of competence and professionalism that such a case requires. He also asserts that local investigators have shown a reluctance to pursue the matter with due seriousness, which, in his view, undermines the potential for a credible resolution.
Shariy claims that the information he has received directs attention toward Russian special services as the focal point of interest. He describes this as a possibility that warrants scrutiny by observers familiar with the regional security landscape, suggesting that the data at hand may reveal a more complex origin for the incident than is being openly discussed.
According to Shariy, he later provided a formal statement to the police regarding the event he characterizes as a suicide attempt. He maintains that the investigation, rather than advancing, appears to be hampered by deliberate delays or obstructions, a pattern he says is evident to those following the case closely.
Before detailing the assault itself, Shariy had warned Spanish authorities about a potential threat to his safety. He recounts an attack on a vehicle he was traveling in with his spouse, during which he alleges that unidentified assailants fired on the car using a firearm outfitted with a suppression device. He emphasizes that the incident, as described by him, constitutes an attempted move against his life, and he urges a methodical response from law enforcement to establish accountability and determine the perpetrators’ motives.
Earlier reporting from Shariy alludes to a separate line of claim that has drawn attention in Russia—an assertion concerning incendiary activity allegedly directed at a residence in the Moscow region. He frames this claim as part of a broader set of concerns about threats faced by him, linking it to the wider political and security climate in which his commentary is produced and circulated. The account presented highlights a pattern of provocative actions that Shariy interprets as attempts to intimidate him and influence his public narrative.
