- By AFP
People in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk gathered to mourn separatist leader Aleksandr Zakharchenko, who was killed in an explosion at a cafe on August 31. Tens of thousands of mourners lined up on September 2 to view his flag-draped casket before it was carried out of Donetsk's Opera and Ballet Theater building and paraded through the city, which has been controlled by Russia-backed separatists since 2014.
