In tiefer Trauer um Alexander Sachartschenko

 

Wir trauern mit den Menschen in der Volksrepublik Donezk um

Ministerpräsident Alexander Sachartschenko

 

Alexander Sachartschenko wurde am 31.08.2018 Opfer eines terroristischen Attentats im Stadtzentrum von Donezk. Er war Führer des antifaschistischen Widerstands im Donbass gegen die Kiewer Junta, die in einem Staatsstreich 2014 mit westlicher Unterstützung in der Ukraine die Macht ergriff. Er organisierte die Verteidigung gegen die faschistischen Bataillone, die ihren mörderischen Terror gegen die verfassungstreue Bevölkerung in der Ostukraine richteten und Tausende ermordet und in die Flucht getrieben haben.

Wir ehren sein Andenken und versichern der Bevölkerung des Donbass und allen ukrainischen Patrioten unserer internationalistischen Solidarität.

Life and Death of Assassinated DPR Head
Alexander Zakharchenko

 

Zakharchenko was born on June 26, 1976, in the city of Donetsk. He graduated from a technical college and also studied at the Interior Ministry’s law institute. He began his career as a mine electrician and later opened his business related to the mining industry.

In 2010, Zakharchenko became the head of the Donetsk department of the Oplot non-government organization established in the city of Kharkiv.

On April 16, 2014, Zakharchenko took part in the takeover of the Donetsk Region Administration, which followed protests in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donbas against violence in Kiev that resulted in the overthrow of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.

In May 2014, he was appointed commandant of Donetsk and later as the DPR interior minister. On August 8, 2014, the DPR Council of Ministers appointed Zakharchenko as the republic’s prime minister.

Three months later he was elected as the DPR leader having gained 75.5 percent of votes.

During the military operation in Donbas, Zakharchenko sustained two injuries: one in the arm near the settlement of Kozhevnia on July 22, 2014, and another one in the leg near the city of Debaltseve on February 17, 2015.

He was major general of the DPR army, had a title “Hero of DPR” and several orders of the self-proclaimed republic. Zakharchenko also received an Order of Friendship of South Ossetia in 2015.

The murdered DPR leader had a wife and four sons.
