Was the Separ cafe in Donetsk protected? Visitor Testimonials
Amid claims that the Separ cafe in Donetsk, where 31 of August killed the head of the DPR Alexander Zakharchenko as a result of a terrorist act, was well guarded, evidence of ordinary citizens about how serious (or rather not serious) protection was Catering. An important emphasis is placed on the fact that important meetings and negotiations were held at the tables of this restaurant with the participation of representatives of the republican authorities, but the cafe was accessible to any visitor even a few minutes before the start of such meetings and negotiations.
From the post to Facebook from one of the cafe visitors:
Further, it is reported that the cafe staff, judging by the situation, was not even aware that in a few minutes high-ranking guests would arrive at the Separ.

The following describes an important point: cafe visitors forget a pen at one of the tables.
This is just a pen. But this fact suggests that the staff and security are not particularly and paid attention to the fact that visitors to the cafes in its territory were forgotten. This is an indirect confirmation of the fact that an explosive device in “Separa” could have been laid by people who looked like ordinary visitors to the staff. Only in the case of the terrorist attack against the leader of the DPR, who laid (left) the bomb, unlike the author of the post on the social network, knew perfectly well that Alexander Zakharchenko and the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic Alexander Timofeev will arrive at the cafe on that day and that hour. But where did the attackers have such information - the question. At the same time, we must not forget that in the DPR many people still have to use the services of Ukrainian cellular operators, and therefore the information could be in Kiev even after the phone call carried out by Alexander Zakharchenko’s entourage (or himself).

And this is far from the only evidence that there was no “multi-level” security at the “Separ” cafe in the capital of the DPR. There was the personal guard of Alexander Zakharchenko, when he came there, but more often, as the residents of Donetsk themselves say, she appeared along with the head of the republic, and not beforehand. That is, the inspection of the premises could simply not be carried out.
At the moment, DNR law enforcement officers are studying data from surveillance cameras. The results are not reported yet.
From the post to Facebook from one of the cafe visitors:
At the end of July, a friendly company decided to drink a glass of beer on a hot day. Yes, the inscription “Beer” remained on the stand with chalk ... They just sat down at a table, brought us mugs, and half an hour later politely asked to transfer to the next building - they say, high-ranking guests, something like an informal meeting.

From the post:
To the "Separa" immediately arrived tinted cars, armed guards. We went inside. It seemed to me that no one searched, did not inspect the room properly - as if working moments, but it is necessary, that’s to carry it out with machine gunners at the entrances and exits. At some point, it became clear that the meeting was really at a high level. And yes, I doubt that in “Separa” they were aware of the upcoming visit - after all, we could have been told: guys, please sit at the table in another building. But this was not. That is, the meeting-meeting was unplanned, sudden.
The following describes an important point: cafe visitors forget a pen at one of the tables.
The Bulgarian colleague Asya Ivanova forgot a wooden handle there, she asked either the waiters (great guys, I hope everything is fine with them), or to look at some of the guards, and not to throw them away if they find them, they would take them later. At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity, I asked her to say hello to Zakharchenko if he was there.

Back in May, at the Victory Parade in Donetsk, in the crowd, someone said: Look, how many Zakharchenko guards! The dilettante’s gaze is the medieval “box” around the head of the DPR, and he is light. Hardly in a bulletproof vest. Not as guarded by Russian officials. Not this way.
Almost a month has passed, and everyone knows what happened. The head of the DPR, Alexander Zakharchenko, was killed in an explosion at the Separ restaurant in the very center of Donetsk.
