The pro-Kremlin mayor installed by Russia during its seige of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol has reportedly survived an assassination attempt.
Konstantin Ivaschenko, a local council member with the pro-Russian Opposition Platform for Life party, was “appointed” mayor of the Azov Sea port on 6 April by Donestsk separatist leader Denis Pushilin, as most of the city lay devastated by Russia’s sustained bombardment.
