Gubarev returns to Donetsk after treatment in Russia

ROSTOV-ON-DON. Nov 10 (Interfax) - Pavel Gubarev, former "people's governor" of Donbas, who survived an assassination attempt in mid October, has been discharged from a hospital in Rostov-on-Don and is now in Donetsk, Gubarev's assistant Anna Belyayeva said.

"Pavel Gubarev looks good and says he is ready to fully go back to work," Belyayeva told Interfax on Monday.

According to earlier reports, a car carrying Gubarev came under fire in Donbas in the Snizhne area and crashed into a pillar on October 13. Gubarev, who was unconscious after the attack, was hospitalized in Rostov-on-Don. He regained consciousness and was transferred from intensive care to a regular ward the next day. The DPR special service later detained several suspects in the attack.
