Alexander Vladimirovich Zakharchenko[a] (26 June 1976 – 31 August 2018) was a Ukrainian separatist leader[3][4] who was the head of state and Prime Minister of the Donetsk People's Republic, a self-proclaimed state and Russian-backed rebel group which declared independence from Ukraine on 11 May 2014.[5][6][7][8] Zakharchenko was appointed Prime Minister in August 2014 after his predecessor Alexander Borodai resigned, and went on to win the early November 2014 election for the position.[citation needed]
Zakharchenko was killed in 2018 when a bomb exploded in a café that he frequently visited.[9][10][11]
