Leader of self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic killed in E. Ukraine blast

An explosion that rocked a cafe in central Donetsk city, in eastern Ukraine, has killed Aleksandr Zakharchenko, the leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, and injured several other top officials.

Media reports said that Zakharchenko was severely injured as a blast hit a restaurant called ‘Separ’ in Donetsk city center. He died later in a local hospital.

“The head of the DNR, Alenksandr Zakharchenko, has died as a result of a terrorist act,” a spokesperson of the self-proclaimed republic’s administration told journalists, revealing no details of the incident.

Moscow condemned 42-year-old Zakharchenko’s murder, adding that it could be detrimental to the whole peace process in Ukraine. The death of the DNR leader could have a particularly negative impact on the implementation of the Minsk Agreements, Konstantin Kosachev, the head of the Russian Senate’s International Affairs Committee, said.

There is “every reason to believe” that Zakharchenko’s murder was orchestrated by Kiev, which “has repeatedly resorted to such methods to get rid of dissidents and undesirables,” Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said.

“Instead of abiding by the Minsk Agreements and seeking ways to resolve the internal [Ukrainian] conflict, the Kiev warmongers opted for a terrorist scenario, thus exacerbating an already tense situation in the region,” she added. The Ukrainian security service, the SBU, has denied involvement in the killing of the DNR head.

Zakharchenko headed the self-proclaimed republic since November 2014 when a crisis broke out in Ukraine following a military coup d’état that ousted a lawfully-elected president. The Eastern Ukrainian provinces of Donetsk and Lugansk engaged in open conflict with Kiev since they refused to accept the new government, following the 2014 coup, and established the self-proclaimed republics. He previously survived several assassination attempts.

Attempt on Zakharchenko. Zakharchenko was killed

By the very act of terrorism, something new is difficult to say. With
the activities of Ukrainian DRG in Donetsk, and previously could not
cope, and now they have not coped.
On the subject of the conversations “but suddenly it’s not hiding, and
the curators removed”, it seems that if Zakharchenko decided to remove,
then he would simply be recalled as Plotnitsky. It is worth remembering
that, like Plotnitsky, Zakharchenko was Surkov’s choice, which oversees
the political part of the “Minsk process.”
As for the “non-tolerance of the Minsk Agreements,” they already joked
without me. Many more people will die for this “lack of alternative”.
In and of itself, the assassination of Zakharchenko certainly gives
reasons for some military and political movements in the Donbass, but it
is by no means a fact that there will be something more than symbolic
response art strikes, formidable statements in the media and calls for
the “world community” to condemn Ukrainian terrorism.
