Quote; "Well-known Russian journalist Pavel Sheremet has died in downtown Kiev when the car he was driving blew up minutes after it started. The vehicle belonged to his employer, the head of Ukrainskaya Pravda newspaper.

The killing of the journalist in Kiev is murder, with a bomb planted in the car he was in, the Ukrainian Prosecutor's Office has said"..."“No doubt the blast was caused by an explosive device implanted by malefactors. Evidently, the bomb had either a frequency-induction fuse or clock-operated bomb,” Anton Gerashchenko, a Ukrainian MP and aide to the interior minister, told 112 Ukraine channel."

"Arafel": I was recently supported by both my Ukranian and Russian readers during a difficult time when I could not safely access the internet domestically and when my U.K readers had abandoned me almost completely this is heartbreaking stuff...my thoughts are with the families of all those courageous hacks who are either; incarcerated, marginalised, being pilloried or have been assassinated for their principles.
