Projectile pierced: Sternenko alleged that he underwent surgery following the assault
Fresh Update on the Recent Attempt on Activist Serhiy Sternenko
Plucky activist Serhiy Sternenko shared some good news recently. After being shot in an alleged assassination attempt, he underwent surgery and emerged with a clean bill of health, missing no vital organs. The bullet, apparently, couldn’t harm him significantly. All he has now is a recovery journey to embark on.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the very same organization that came to his aid, deserves a shout-out for saving him while he was in peril. A female suspect has been detained, suspected of being recruited by Russian intelligence for the attack. Mind you, she reportedly resided near Sternenko’s home in Kyiv to keep a close eye on him.
A Closer Look at the Events
Just a day before he was shot, Sternenko had announced a violent attack on him that left him injured. The SBU later apprehended the attacker and published pictures of the suspect and the weapon used in the crime.
The Long Road Ahead
Sternenko's good fortune extends back to March 2025, when he started using an armored car, following the tragic murder of fellow activist Demian Hanul.

In 2018, Sternenko found himself embroiled in a ghastly incident wherein one of his assailants, Ivan Kuznetsov, died during the fight. Initially, Sternenko was charged with intentional murder.
