| 2016-10-17 |
| DONETSK (Sputnik) – On Sunday, Pavlov’s death was confirmed by the DPR’s Defense Ministry as well as Ukrainian security forces. He is said to have been killed in a dwelling house but further details remain unknown. “As I understand, [Ukrainian President] Petro Poroshenko violated the ceasefire and declared us a war,” Zakharchenko told journalists late Sunday. Pavlov headed the DPR Sparta Battalion that took part in a number of battles during the military conflict in Donbas |

| #1 Funny how the lion's share of top formation commanders in Donetsk and Lugansk have died as a result of assassinations and not in battle. So far neither Zakharchenko, nor Igor Plotnitski, nor anyone one else in the political hierarchy of Donetsk and Lugansk have addressed this contradiction. Their formation commanders should stay at the front, where it's safer. Pavlov prolly died for his role in helping Lugansk president Plotnitski last summer. Zakharcheko can't kill all the Cossacks in southern Ukraine. |
