The news of the car bomb explosion follows the assassination attempt on Olena Shapurova back in September.
On Thursday, September 29, a car bomb assassination attempt was made on Russian collaborator Olena Shapurova in Melitopol, Ukraine.
Speaking at the time, Ivan Fedorov, the Mayor of Melitopol reported that “the car of the local top collaborator Olena Shapurova caught fire.”
He added: “The person, who in civilian life became famous for numerous corruption schemes in college, found her “calling”: she headed the occupation “department of education” and in every possible way helped the occupiers to impose the racist regime of “education”.”

His letter of confession was backdated from 12/12/2010. But it was not officially confirmed until today that the suicide bomber was the sender of the texts. They were spoken in Kyrgyz. The assassin was immediately dead after the explosion of a pipe bomb on his body in the city center shortly before 17 o’clock. In the spoken text, the man reported that he had been trained for jihad during a stay in the Middle East. “We will have to maintain the high level of security measures over All Saints’ Day until the New Year. The terror alert level remains at “significant,” which means that an attack in Moscow is “very likely,” Colonel Putin said.
In the long run, the terror alert sees only one way to buy off Putin’s tail: to upgrade, to close the missile gap, back to the logic of deterrence.
