A Russian journalist who was reportedly murdered turned up alive in the middle of a televised news conference in Ukraine about his own killing. “I’m still alive,” Arkady Babchenko said to reporters at the news conference at Ukrainian Security Service headquarters in Kyiv. On Tuesday, Ukrainian officials said Babchenko had been shot dead and that his wife had found him in a pool of blood. He is a critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his policy in Ukraine and Syria. The report of his murder started a war of words between Ukraine and Russia. It also brought condemnation from the United States and European countries. But on Wednesday, Babchenko appeared before reporters saying he had been part of a special Ukrainian operation to stop a Russian attempt on his life. Babchenko apologized to his wife “for the hell she had to go through in the past two days.”
