“This is an irreplaceable loss for the whole Republic. Nobody will forget this crime, it is cowardly and low, and war crimes have no statute of limitations. We have no choice, and we must go only forward, we simply have no right to betray the memory of it. “
After the farewell ceremony in the Donetsk Opera and Ballet Theater, the mourning procession along the central street of Artem will begin. The car with the body of Alexander Zakharchenko will proceed to the building of the Administration of the Head of the People’s Democratic Republic, and then he will go to the cemetery where the funeral will be held.
