In the self -proclaimed "Lugansk People's Republic", the leader of the local "Cossacks" Pavel Dremov was killed. His car was blown up at a gas station on the Pervomaisk -Stakhanov highway, according to the separatist agency "News Front".
Dremov died on the spot, the driver was injured and later also died. The scene is numbered by law enforcement officers of the LPR and Cossacks. In the "Prosecutor General" of the LPR, the death of Dremov was confirmed. "According to preliminary information, there was an explosive device installed inside the car, in which Dremov and his driver rode," the report said.
Dremov served as the commander of the Sixth Separate Motor Rifle Cossack Regiment named after Platov’s Public Police of the LPR. " In Stakhanov, he was heading for his own marriage with Russian citizen from St. Petersburg. It is reported that she worked in the Donbass as a journalist.
“The death of Dremov, as in fact, the previous leaders of the terrorists in the LPR (Bednova, Ishchenko, Moznoye) could be the result of disputes between uncontrolled Cossack leaders and their Russian curators,” said Artem Shevchenko, director of the Department of Communications of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
In May in the LPR , the commander of the team of militants "Ghost" Alexei Mozgova was killed . On the Perevalsk-Lugansk highway, his car was blown up, and then shot from machine guns. Together with the Mozgov, six more separatists died.
The responsibility for the murder of the cerebral was assumed by the Ukrainian detachment "Shadow" . Prior to this, the power structures of the LPR stated that the attempt could allegedly organize a sabotage and reconnaissance group controlled by Kyiv.
In March, in about the same area, an assassination attempt was made on Mozgovoy - two mines exploded. Then the commander of the Ghost was injured. The LPR authorities then accused the LPR authorities in organizing the assassination attempt, with whom he had disagreements.
