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.

Russian-born commander Arsen Pavlov, known as “Motorola,” was killed Sunday by a bomb explosion in his apartment building’s elevator in the rebel-held city of Donetsk. Soon after, heavy military activity was seen around the scene of the incident as separatist authorities scrambled to discover who was behind the killing.
Russian journalist Alexander Kots tweeted a video Sunday evening allegedly from a Ukrainian neo-Nazi group called “Misanthropic Division.” The 11-second clip appears to show several armed men in military fatigues and baklavas take responsibility for assassinating Pavlov, who commanded the rebel Sparta unit. They then threaten to target Alexander Zakharchenko, prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic and rebel leader Igor Plotnitsky.

I am not surprised… the West has lost its mind…
Regrettably, I think that means “US”… or is that simply, us.
I’ve been watching the Donetsk People’s Republic’s situation closely for some years. There are a few Finnish volunteers fighting in their army, and the head of the DNR’s foreign media communications is also a Finnish man. Then there is The Official Representative Center of Donetsk People’s Republic in Finland, it’s based in Helsinki. All this means that I’m able to get a lot of information from the Donetsk area. There is also at least one American man, ex-CIA official helping to fight this war against the Ukraine (video link). So it’s a really interesting bunch of people, trying to get the international recognition for their young country, the Donetsk People’s Republic.
I’m very sad they killed Aleksandr Zakharchenko, he was a good man, but the fight goes on. May he rest in peace.
Yes, they tried to kill him many times earlier, and now they finally succeeded. I believe this will start a new phase in the war. Poroshenko’s days might be numbered, at least in power.
Condolences of the president of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin:
“Alexander Vladimirovich was a true people’s leader, a brave and resolute person, a patriot of Donbass. In a difficult time for his native land, he stood up for his defense, took on a huge personal responsibility, led the people.
The murder of Alexander Zakharchenko is another testimony: those who chose the path of terror, violence, intimidation, do not want to seek a peaceful, political solution to the conflict, do not want to conduct a real dialogue with the inhabitants of the southeast, but make a dangerous bet on destabilizing the situation, then, to put the people of Donbass on their knees. This they will not work.
I expect that the organizers and executors of this crime will be deserved punishment.
I want to once again express my condolences to the relatives and friends of Alexander Vladimirovich Zakharchenko, all residents of Donbass. Russia will always be with you.”
