“Ukraine Is Run by Miserable Jews” is a statement attributed by the MSM to Zakharchenko, Leader of the Donetsk Republic .
In a press conference held today, Zakharchenko and Plotnisky (leader of the Lugansk Republic) described the deceitful behavior of the Kiev regime and their bad faith in concluding the Minsk Agreement.
Zakharchenko also replied to the repeated mischaracterizations of him in the New York Times and the Washington Post as “the voice of Kremlin” by pointing out that in view of Poroshenko’s frequent confabs with Obama and visits to Washington, DC, the latter is far more accurately described as the “voice of the USA.”
Of this press conference the only part that received attention in the MSM is the finale in which Zakharchenko made an appeal to the Ukrainian people, telling them that the Junta who sends their sons, husbands, brothers and fathers to die needlessly while killing people in East Ukraine is not pursuing the interests of the Ukrainian people.
My Russian is very rusty so I rely on the English subtitles provided by the video, according to which he never said, “Ukraine is run by miserable Jews.”
He did scathingly ridicule the junta of Jewish oligarchs — military leaders the likes of which Ukraine never had before, the kind who never held a sword in their hands and would send others to die for them, the likes of which would make Taras Bulba and Taras Sevchenko turn in their graves with shame. He not so subtly indicated that the Ukrainians should wake up to realize that their true kinship is with their Slav brothers.

On the other hand the MSM description of his statement makes it sound that he equivocated and tempered his statement about the Jewish oligarchs by saying they are not true representatives of a great people (i.e., the Jews in general). My understanding, going by the subtitles and the context, is that he in fact said they are not true representatives of a great people, i.e., the Ukrainian people.
Be that as it may, it is nevertheless clear that even by mentioning the Jewish oligarchs as being those who run Ukraine, without calli g them “miserable,” Zakarchenko has gone boldly where Putin never went before, which puts paid to his being “the voice of Kremlin,” unless one wishes to go as far as to postulate that Putin is a ventriloquist and Zakaharchenko his puppet.
Putin walks nimbly on the tightrope he has fashioned for himself: maintaining good relations with Israel, fighting “fascism” and its recrudescence where it rears its ugly little head and, when mentioning the oligarchs, differentiating them not as Jewish and non- but, funny enough, “ours” (the good ones in Russia that behave themselves) and the ‘bad ones’ in Ukraine, or the formerly-Russian oligarchs who fled Russia to escape conviction and now live in the UK, Israel or the US. But they have no ethnicity… (One may conclude that there are ‘good oligarchs’ and ‘bad oligarchs’ and it so happens that both kinds are Jews.)
The likelihood of success of Zakharchenko’s appeal to the Ukrainians is increased by the serious losses suffered by the Ukrainian army in this fratricidal war and by Poroshenko’s new mobilization call (not well received). On the other hand it is hampered by the raging Russophobia incited by the Maidanists even before the Maidan was a glimmer in Victoria Nuland-Kagan’s eye.
