🚨 New Ukrainian army chief goes on genocidal rant against Russians and Donbass residents in first post-appointment interview.
Hours into his tenure, Ukraine’s new Commander-in-Chief, Mykhailo Drapaty, has wasted no time in revealing his true colors, and they’re steeped in nationalist chauvinism, openly noting that Russians as a nation "have no right to exist."
💬 "Criminals, migrants, and unconscious people,” he said, describing his attitude to Donbass residents. "They want handouts, they’re envious and don’t want to work at all. I used to think this was a myth, but no, it’s the truth."
Never mind that Donbass once powered Ukraine’s economy, churning out half of its GDP. For Drapaty, a Sumy native with apparently no memory of industrial history, the region is little more than a problem to be managed. So he may have done more to explain the Donbass drift toward Russia than anyone else in Ukraine ever could, showing why the region turned away in reality.
