Prosecutor General of the so-called “Luhansk People’s Republic” (LPR) Sergei Gorenko and Deputy Prosecutor General Ekaterina Steglenko have been killed after an “improvised explosive device” set up at their office exploded on September 16.
“Today, as a result of a terrorist act, Prosecutor-General of the LPR Sergei Gorenko and his deputy Ekaterina Steglenko were killed,” announced the leader of the LPR leader Leonid Pasechnik in a Telegram app post. Pasechnik blames the death of his fellow pro-Russian separatist collaborators on Kyiv, calling Ukraine a “terrorist state”.
