A detained Ukrainian agent says he had been tasked to blow
up Zakharchenko’s car.
LUGANSK,
March 12. /TASS/. Ukraine’s Security Service plotted a terrorist attack on the
head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Alexander
Zakharchenko, the state security ministry of the Lugansk People’s Republic
(LPR) said on Sunday after questioning a detained Ukrainian agent, Sergei
Ivanchuk.
Ivanchuk
said he had been tasked to blow up Zakharchenko’s car when it is on its way to
the Uspenka checkpoint, LuganskInformCenter said citing the ministry.
Apart
from that, Ivanchuk said his another task was to worm his way into confidence
of Mikhail Tolstykh, the commander of the DPR’s Somali battalion, known under
the nickname Givi. Earlier, the LPR state security ministry said the servicemen
of the 8th regiment of Ukraine’s special operations force were behind
Tolstykh’s murder. Invanchuk served in that regiment.
On
March 10, LPR’ security and law enforcement services exposed a network of
several groups of Ukrainian diversionists acting in its territory and detained
their members. Some of them confessed committing a number of terrorist attacks
in the self-proclaimed republics and in Russia.
