A RUSSIAN judge who sentenced Brits to death in Ukraine is said to be in a critical condition after being shot in an assassination attempt.
Alexander Nikulin is “fighting for his life” after being shot in Vuhlehirsk, eastern Ukraine, according to Russia’s news agency, Tass.
Cops said the gunmen were still on the loose while Putin goon and leader of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, Denis Pushilin, said the judge was targeted for “sentencing Nazi criminals”.
The Nazi label is slapped on any Ukrainian who opposes Russian rule and was used by Putin to justify his senseless invasion in February.
On Telegram, Pushilin wrote: “There was attempt with the use of firearms on a judge of the Supreme Court of the Donetsk Republic Alexander Nikulin.
