Ukraine has become a terrorist state after the assassination of Alexander Zakharchenko, the leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), and terror attacks against other figures who fought to protect the rights of Donbas residents, Russian envoy to the Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine Boris Gryzlov said Friday.
MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 31st August, 2018) Ukraine has become a terrorist state after the assassination of Alexander Zakharchenko, the leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), and terror attacks against other figures who fought to protect the rights of Donbas residents, Russian envoy to the Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine Boris Gryzlov said Friday.
Zakharchenko was killed in a bomb blast in a cafe in downtown Donetsk earlier in the day. The self-proclaimed republic's prosecutors launched a criminal investigation into the murder. The DPR authorities also said the attack on Zakharchenko was a terror act.
"The series of murders of battalion commanders who fought for the rights of Donbas residents continues. The terror acts turned Ukraine into a terror state," Gryzlov said.
"The Kiev party of war, the same forces that promoted that law on the so-called Russian aggression, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada and signed by [Ukrainian President Petro] Poroshenko, is behind the murder of Alexander Zakharchenko," Gryzlov suggested.
