- Country:
- Ukraine
Ukraine's security service said on Friday it believed Russia-backed separatist leader Alexander Zakharchenko had been killed in east Ukraine as a result of a conflict between the rebels and their Russian sponsors.
Moscow earlier accused Kiev of being behind an explosion that killed Zakharchenko in central Donetsk on Friday.
Yelena Gitlyanskaya, a spokeswoman for the Ukraine security service, said: "all of the accusations that can be heard from the Russian side are not true".
