Ukrainian security services today eliminated Oleg Popov, a senior official of the so-called Luhansk People's Republic, an unrecognized Russian puppet republic in the occupied parts of eastern Ukraine. Previously, he was implicated in the murder of Ukrainians, according to RBC-Ukraine sources.
Initially, Russian propagandists reported that he suffered serious injuries, then admitted that the collaborator had been killed.
According to sources, he was eliminated by the Security Service of Ukraine. Popov was a legitimate target, as before his "MP" position, he led many Russian mercenaries, headed illegal armed formations, and killed Ukrainians.
Moreover, in the "People's Council" of the "LPR," he was the "head of the committee on state security and defense."
It was reported that a car had exploded near the Avanhard stadium in Luhansk. Oleg Popov was inside it.

On November 8, an explosion rocked the temporarily occupied Luhansk. Later, it became known that the car of the former "chief of police of the LPR" Mikhail Filiponenko, who was a so-called "deputy of the Supreme Council of the LPR," exploded.
The occupant died at the scene as a result of injuries sustained in the explosion.
The Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated that Filiponenko's death was the result of a joint special operation of the military intelligence and the resistance.
