IBT: Vlodymyr Struk, Luhansk Separatist mayor, 'believed to be killed by residents'.

Pro-Russian Mayor of Eastern Ukrainian City Who Cheered Putin's Decision to Invade Ukraine Kidnapped and Killed by Residents

The pro-Russian mayor of a city in eastern Ukraine who cheered and supported President Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine was found "shot dead," after being kidnapped from his home, according to reports. Vlodymyr Struk, of Kreminna in Luhansk, was founded murdered on Tuesday after being "abducted from his home."

A grisly photograph of his slain body shows Struk brutally tortured before being shot dead. He had suffered a "gunshot wound to the heart." His wife later confirmed that Struk was shot in his heart after being kidnapped from his home and his body remained on the street for hours. It is believed that he was killed by angry Ukrainian civilians before of being pro-Russian.

There is evidence of torture on Stuk's body. Kyiv needs to disown this sort of vigilante justice. The positive commentary by the Ukraine Deputy Speaker was misconceived to say the least. If the progress of the war can be advanced by taking out a senior traitor, then send in a sniper team.

takes many forms. Whether this pro-Russian POS met a fate like this or not, trumps puppet master is going to continue to kill many, many children with thermobaric bombs. This POS met the fate he chose. Whether by the military or RESISTANCE fighter, I say excellent. His soul, if there is a hell, is with Hussein and Hitler dancing in the flames in more pain than can be imagined.

From the article....
"On March 1 [there] was a statement from his wife that he was kidnapped [from persons] unknown in camouflage form. "
