“On May 20, all paramilitary units of the LPR loudly announced that several sabotage and reconnaissance groups from Ukraine had entered the territory of the “republic,” and on this occasion, all senior officers were allowed to go to work in civilian clothes,” the publication reports.
On May 21, top officials of the LPR came to Mozgovoy in Alchevsk with a demand to join the “people’s militia” and were given until Monday, the newspaper notes.
Mozgovoy, according to her information, decided to leave for Russia. Only one person from his circle knew about this, as well as the fact that on Monday, May 25, Mozgovoy was supposed to give a press conference in Moscow.
On the morning of Saturday, May 23, the departure to Russia was also planned for “Rome,” the commandant of Sverdlovsk, where the Cossacks under the command of “Eustace” were mostly based. Mozgovoy was killed on their territory, the publication writes.
Until Saturday evening, Mozgovoy was at his headquarters and was not going anywhere: closer to five, his driver agreed to have a drink with the guys from the Ghost, thinking that in half an hour he would be free. Unexpectedly, his press secretary Anna Aseeva entered Mozgovoy’s office. Her second name is Gukova, after her husband, who is fighting on the other side, and even in the Aidar battalion, so the family with three children broke up for political reasons. But they continued to be in contact, and allegedly there were negotiations on Skype with Mozgov about possible interaction. Anna Aseeva that evening was in an evening dress, made up and styled. Which once again indicates that her departure with Mozgov was an emergency. Neither the driver nor the bodyguards were ready for him. Nevertheless, we got into the car and drove to Lugansk.
Before reaching the turn to Mikhailovka, the car is blown up by a landmine and is fired upon from four points with small arms, including a machine gun.
