Leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Alexander Zakharchenko says that Ukrainian pilot Nadia Savchenko will be killed should she decide to go to Donbas to participate in war, according to Ukrainian website Novosti Donbasa.
"If Savchenko comes to the front line, we'll shoot her. So when we're to blame for killing her, it wouldn't be so offensive," he told journalists.
He also claims "Kyiv would prefer to have Savchenko dead than alive."
As UNIAN reported earlier, Zakharchenko admitted a "reunion with Ukraine only if there is change in power in Kyiv."
