Donetsk Republic Leader Murder Suspects Currently on DPR territory - Security Ministry

Those involved in the assassination of Alexander Zakharchenko, the leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, are still on the territory of the breakaway region, DPR Security Ministry spokesman Mikhail Popov said on Saturday.

DONETSK (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 01st September, 2018) Those involved in the assassination of Alexander Zakharchenko, the leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, are still on the territory of the breakaway region, DPR Security Ministry spokesman Mikhail Popov said on Saturday.

Zakharchenko was killed in a bomb blast in the cafe Separ in downtown Donetsk on Friday. The Russian Foreign Ministry and DPR officials said that Kiev was behind the assassination. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), in its turn, said it was not involved in the murder.

"The saboteurs involved in the assassination of the DPR head are in our country, so the DPR citizens should be particularly vigilant for the sake of their own safety and, possibly, assist the operational staff in detecting the criminals," Popov said.
