News have been coming in thick and fast ever since we learnt about the murder of Alexander Zakharchenko, the self-proclaimed head of the occupied parts of Ukraine’s Donetsk region. Russia and the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) were quick to speak about the what they call a “Ukrainian trail.” Four people were detained in relation to the incident.
“They are talking about two special operations teams. And they already talked of the Ukrainian trail. They are looking into 14 people in relation to these groups,” Pavlo Lysiansky, the representative of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, wrote on Facebook on September 1, adding that the four people who were detained admitted to the crimes.
