The Megapolis Kurort company has until now specialised in wellness holidays within Russia, but it's decided to branch out - into extreme travel, the pro-Kremlin Izvestiya newspaper reports . On the itinerary will be the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, both rebel strongholds where fighting between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian forces has been fierce . "A trip will take about four days and will cost about $2,000 to $3,000 (£1,300 to £2,000)," co-owner Mikhail Bely is quoted as saying. A special armoured vehicle for five to seven people is being prepared for the trips, and security guards will accompany each group, he says, adding that 10 people have already expressed an interest. The idea has shocked Stanislav Vinokurov, a member of Luhansk's self-proclaimed government. "I understand and support commercial initiatives in the tourism industry, but to earn money on people's grief? I do not support this," he says.
