Russia-Appointed Official In Ukraine Killed In Car Bombing

[Swede]

Tsk tsk.

The Moscow-appointed mayor of the Russia-occupied Ukrainian town of Mykhaylivka, Ivan Sushko, has been killed by a car bomb.

A representative of Russia-imposed authorities in parts of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhya region, Volodymyr Rogov, wrote on Telegram on August 24 that Sushko died in the hospital after a bomb "intentionally placed under the seat of his vehicle" exploded.

8. Or handrail?

I shouldn't laugh but I can't help it. It really is like the movies. These big Russian hitmen just shrugging it all off. Just life in the fast lane.

They are good at making a statement. Everybody in the world knows about it five minutes after it happens.

They are very upfront about their political assassinations.

9. This news item has nothing to do with

Living in Russia or Russian hit-men.
This was not a political assasination in Russia. It was an act of war in Ukraine.

16. Good. Keep this up/ This is NOT terrorism. It is (IMHO) smart asymmetrical warfare

The victim is a Russian collaborator acting as a leader of Ukrainians. His position as mayor was illegitimate.

In short, he was the enemy.
