A woman suspected of involvement in a bombing at a St. Petersburg cafe that killed a Russian military blogger is set to face a Moscow court that will set terms for her pre-trial detention. Vladlen Tatarsky, 40, an ardent supporter of the war who filed reports on the fighting from the front lines in Ukraine, was killed Sunday as he led a discussion at the riverside cafe in the historic heart of St. Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city. Russian authorities described the bombing as an act of terrorism and blamed Ukrainian intelligence agencies for orchestrating the attack. Darya Trepova, a 26-year-old St. Petersburg resident, was arrested on charges of involvement and is set to face a court hearing Tuesday.
