A senior Kremlin official responsible for carrying the Russian president's nuclear bag has been shot dead at his Moscow home.

Vadim Zimin, 53, is currently fighting for his life in intensive care.

According to the Mirror, the Colonel, was facing bribery charges and was under house arrest when the incident occurred.

Zimin was a retired colonel in the Federal Security Service, charged with carrying a bag that allegedly contained codes in Russia's nuclear arsenal.

He always accompanied the Russian leader, although he is not the only person responsible for carrying out this task.

Zimin initially played this role as an aide to former Russian President Boris Yeltsin, then went on to work with Vladimir Putin, although the exact nature of his role in the administration remains unclear, as only one picture of him exists.

The 53-year-old was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the kitchen of his apartment on the outskirts of Moscow, while his wife, who is a doctor, is treating wounded soldiers in Ukraine.

The colonel's body was found lying in a pool of blood with a wound to the head, by his brother, who was allegedly in the bathroom at the time of the shooting.
