A stunning assassination by opposition troops of a Russian puppet official in Ukraine is captured on arresting surveillance film.
Before becoming the chief of intelligence for the Moscow-backed Luhansk People’s Republic in 2014, Askyar Laishev served for Ukraine’s internal security agency (SBU).
But on August 11, when he was traveling through the city, fighters of Ukraine’s National Resistance in the war-torn Donbas region of eastern Ukraine exacted retribution by bombing his vehicle.
The underground fighters said that following the explosion, Laishev exited the vehicle, but he subsequently passed away in a hospital.

“We repeat once again that collaborationism is hazardous to your health, thus every traitor has foolish expectations that vengeance would not come to him,” the National Resistance said.
Laishev’s automobile is shown on newly released CCTV footage exploding on Shevchenko Street in Staroblisk, Russian-held Luhansk, which was taken over by Russia in early July.
After the enormous explosion, the blazing debris keeps moving down the street.
An eyewitness standing yards from the vehicle fell to the ground in the sudden explosion. He was briefly motionless in the wake of the bombing, but appeared to have escaped serious harm
The moment the automobile detonated is captured on video from a different CCTV camera down the street.
Black spots and skid marks on the road may be seen in photos taken after the attack.
Following its breach yesterday, the video has been extensively circulated across Ukrainian Telegram communities.
As Putin prepared to withdraw his whole fleet of fighter aircraft from Crimea in response to a barrage of Ukrainian airstrikes on the planes, footage of the bold murder plot emerged.
According to a classified document dated August 22, Russia has already evacuated 10 of its most powerful fighter aircraft, including six Su-35S and four MiG-31BM fighters, from the area it seized from Ukraine in 2014.
They will return to airfields on the Russian mainland.
Skid marks and a huge burnt patch in the road marked the exact spot where Laishev was killed

Although several Ukrainian authorities and a number of other sources have said Ukraine’s special forces were likely responsible for the explosions, the country has not formally claimed credit for the strikes.
According to a NATO document obtained by Insider, the Belbek airport, which is adjacent to the Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol, currently has a sizable number of military aircraft, but they are not deemed sufficient to provide a continuous level of air support in the area.
Instead, the paper claims that Moscow has increased the quantity of surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft weaponry systems in an effort to fend off additional attacks.
