13. "Ukraine's Ex-PM Tymoshenko: Take up Arms and Kill the Russians"
Thu Dec 4, 2014, 11:57 AM
Dec 2014

Tymoshenko doesn't deny that she urged slaughtering and ethnic cleansing of Russians.

Her ONLY disagreement is that she urges the slaughter of Russians who live in Ukraine,
and not slaughter of Russians in Russia.
(Eastern Ukraine has mostly Russian speaking people)

Tymoshenko confirmed that the conversation took place on Twitter from her verified account. But she pointed out that the end of the leaked recording, when she threatens to use atomic weapons against eight million Russians living in Ukraine, has been edited and manipulated.

A translation reads: "The conversation took place, but the 'eight million Russians in Ukraine' piece is a manipulation. In fact, I said that Russians in Ukraine are Ukrainians. Hello FSB [the Russian secret service] Sorry for the obscene language."

13.5% of Ukrainians are RUSSIAN
