"It's true that Ukraine is preparing for military action. And today's events, in which both the security guards and Igor himself were injured, are further proof of that. But we are ready. We can't wait. I would also like to address the Ukrainian authorities: know that Minsk-3 will not happen, so go ahead!" Zakharchenko's official website quotes him as saying.

“When I got fed up with this a year and a half ago, I gave the order to take the airport and Debaltseve with it. They’ll wait,” he added.

“A month ago, Ukraine announced that it was preparing an assassination attempt on the top officials of the state. And on me, and Plotnitsky, and our ministers. Therefore it was expected. Thank God, everything worked out. Igor's condition is stable. I'm sure he'll pull through. Donbass character. For my part, I can say that we are together. We are always happy to lend a helping hand and will help in any situation. We are Donbass. We are united,” noted the DPR leader.

“We have issued a number of orders that make it clear that we will not tolerate this any longer. And if Ukrainians think that they are able to afford such assassination attempts as happened today with Igor, adequate measures will be taken. We also have allies and supporters, and we are able to do the same in Ukraine. As one of my friends told me, nobility in this regard is counterproductive. This is further confirmation. Wait,” Zakharchenko announced.
