Russian separatist leader killed

As T announces ASS, citing one source, the explosion occurred at the “restaurant Separ” at the moment Zaharchenko was in it.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zaharova blamed Kiev for staying behind the attack.

“Alexander Zaharchenko died in Donetsk during a terrorist attack, instead of implementing Minsk's agreements and finding way to fix internal conflict, Kiev's side is implementing a terrorist scenario that complicates and without a difficult situation in the region”, spokeswoman Zaharova said.
