Following emergency surgery, reports confirm he has regained consciousness, and doctors indicate that the threat to his life has passed. Russian officials have arrested two suspects in connection with the shooting, which they speculate to be an attack orchestrated by Ukrainian operatives.

Alexeyev, 64, has been a pivotal figure in Russia's military operations, contributing to both the war in Ukraine and the Syrian civil war, earning various military decorations throughout his career.
