The leader of the Sparta terrorist battalion Arseniy Pavlov, known as Motorola, fled from Donetsk. This was reported by the Ukrainian edition "Dialog" with reference to sources in the city.
The militant and his retinue left the city on two jeeps, which were stuffed with things, the source reports. According to him, Motorola left his wife and child in Donetsk.
Pro -Russian militants urgently leave Donetsk, fearing lane, the source claims.

The day before, Andrei Purgin was shifted from the post of speaker of the People’s Council of the DPR . His place was taken by the former vice speaker Denis Pushilin. With his first order, Pushilin resigned the "head of the apparatus of the People’s Council" Alexei Alexandrov. "Instead of the proper performance of official duties, Alexei Georgievich made a number of political statements that are contrary to the policy of the entire state. To my great regret, the chairman of the People’s Council Andrei Purgin fell under the influence of this person," Pushilin said.
The "Ministry of State Security" of the DPR began the investigation "in relation to a number of unlawful actions" Alexandrov. It was reported that Purgin and his wife were arrested. However, the DPR authorities refuted this. “Purgin is now at home,” said Maxim Leshchenko, head of the administration of the head of the DPR. “He remains a deputy.”
