It is unclear whether she was targeted directly, or whether her father, who had been expected to travel with her but switched to another car at the last minute, was the real target of the assassination attempt.
The head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Denis Pushilin, claimed that Ukrainian authorities were behind the explosion, while they denied any involvement.
