A new way of announcing a death


Alexander Zakharchenko, leader of separatists in the Donetsk area of eastern Ukraine, died Friday from an explosion at a café.

Zakharchenko "’received injuries incompatible with life as a result of an explosion in the center of Donetsk,’ the separatist administration said in a statement.”

Zakharchenko is the latest commander “killed in unexplained circumstances not connected to front-line combat.

“…Arseny Pavlov, who went by the nom de guerre ‘Motorola’ … was blown up in the lift of his apartment building in Donetsk in October 2016.

“Another prominent casualty was Alexander Bednov, nicknamed ‘Batman,’ a senior commander in the Luhansk People's Republic, another eastern Ukrainian breakaway region that neighbors Donetsk. He was killed in January 2015 when his convoy came under fire in a location where, at the time, there was no fighting with Ukrainian forces.”
