Ex-President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma, who recently supported the introduction of peacekeepers in the Ordo, handed over the Crimea and the Donbas of Russia many years ago.

This was stated in an interview with the "Observer" by a human rights activist who suffered in the case of the murder of journalist Georgy Gongadze Alexei Podolsky.

"There is no question of any Russian trace in the murder of Gongadze. This is completely Ukrainian history. The Russians are simply furiously defending their best agent, who surrendered the Crimea and Donbass many years ago.

I tell you this as the head of the Russian department in the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry at a time when, under Kuchma and according to his political will, the surrender of Ukraine took place, "Podolsky said..

According to him, it is through the fault of Kuchma that the Crimea and part of the Donbas are now occupied.

As reported by the "Observer", the Gongadze case disappeared from Alexei Pukach's statement about Kuchma.
