The Head of the DPR called the murder of one of the militia leaders, Arsen Pavlov, aka Motorola, a challenge to the entire Republic.

Alexander Zakharchenko promised the President of Ukraine Poroshenko a ‘proportionate response’ to the murder of one of the leaders of the militia, Arsen Pavlov, also known as Motorola.

According to Zakharchenko, Motorola’s murder is not nothing but a violation of the ceasefire.

‘As I understand it Poroshenko has broken the truce. Now let them wait. We have had enough, we have suffered, we have promised,’ said the Head of the DPR and called the death of Pavlov a ‘challenge to the entire Republic’.

Earlier in the Donetsk People's Republic it was reported that Ukrainian saboteurs might be involved in the murder of Motorola. It was stated by Denis Pushilin, the plenipotentiary representative of the DPR in the contact group on the settlement of the situation in Donbass.

Arsen Pavlov was killed when a bomb exploded in a lift of his apartment building.
