Press TV correspondent in Ukraine Johnny Miller says he has been placed on a “kill list” by Ukrainian ultranationalists following his revelations about Ukrainian atrocities against pro-Russian children and other civilians in the Donbas region.
Reporting from the war-torn country on Friday, Miller said that the neo-Nazi group wants him dead following his repeated reports about Ukrainian forces’ violence in the east of the country.
In an interview with Press TV, Miller said that he was placed on the kill list after he sent a journalistic inquiry to the website that had published a kill list of hundreds of people.
“Actually I contacted the website for a statement, which is normal in journalistic standards, but they didn’t reply to my statement… rather, they put me on the list,” the correspondent said.
“It’s clear that some parts of Ukrainian society [are] witnessing some kind of Kafkaesque nightmare, when a journalist does a legitimate story about a kill list and they put him on the same list,” he added.
He warned that most of the people on the list, including a 13-year-old teenager who was interviewed by Miller, “have already been receiving threats of physical violence.”
“There is no doubt that this list does promote violence, and the killing of anybody on that list,” he noted, adding that there are “over 300 children” on that kill list right now.

Miller called on international organizations such as the UN to take down this list and said that it’s so shocking that there is no pressure from such organizations.
“There should be more pressure from western countries to take down this list, [which is] promoting violence against children and journalists through an extremist behavior and ideology.”
“The Ukrainian government has the power to take down this list; NATO countries have a huge influence over Ukraine, but it doesn’t seem to be any pressure to take down this list at the moment,” Miller said.
He said that in spite of Western media’s supposition, there is a considerable degree of “extremism” in Ukraine, which he has been trying to highlight through the years.
The development comes as a number of journalists have been killed in Ukraine after being put on the list.
Miller is famous for his revealing reports in the east of Ukraine since the Russian offensive started on Feb. 26.
In a damning report last month, Miller revealed that the Ukrainian army has been shelling civilians in the areas surrounding the Donetsk region, while accusing the Russian army of atrocities.
“The uncomfortable truth is that Ukraine is killing civilians, indeed its own civilians, as it has been doing so for the last eight years,” said Miller, who traveled to the Petrovsky district near the frontline in Donetsk to investigate the incidents.
Back in May, the Russian army also confirmed that Ukraine’s shelling killed and injured its civilians in the southern region of Kherson, pounding southern and eastern areas with missile strikes.
According to Russia’s RIA news agency, Ukrainian missile strikes hit a school, kindergarten, and cemetery in the villages of Kyselivka and Shyroka Balka in the Kherson region in early Ma
Many people have been ‘bumped off’ for centuries for telling the truth.
That’s unlikely to ever change.
re- a Hit list,
We probably all have an imaginary one,
Mine would be predominantly made up of Suits-n-ties, Bone Idle types who delegate, They have no clue about sympathy or compassion, always well off,
but like to dictate what’s allowed & what others should do.
It would be interesting to see if the same names on just about everyone’s list was similar, an imaginary ‘top ten’ if you like. regardless of race, culture, or nationality, the same characters named time & time again.
Even then I don’t think they’d show any regret or remorse for what they’ve done.
this Azovs + rest are no NAZIS !
they are just plain murderers and
would murder anybody just for fun .
the german nazis did not kill for fun !
german soldiers were the honourablest
in the world despite their jewish UK+USA
ruling enemies !
We have been hearing reports like Johnny Miller’s for some time now. Incredibly, the UN and N ATO are deaf and dumb to them. The oligarch Kolomoiski is the ‘makher’ who made Zelenski, coke-head and longtime porn dancer, the president of Ukraine. He made the AZOV murderers too. This is well known. Yet the EU, the US and the UK hail Zelenski as a great hero. And they complement the depraved AZOV murderers as ‘extreme right wing’, and ‘nazis’.
Shake one’s head as one might, these are stark facts. Kolomoiski, safe in Israel, is free to enjoy his handiwork. God help us.
> Actually I contacted the website for a statement, which is normal in journalistic standards, but they didn’t reply to my statement… rather, they put me on the list
Why do “journalists” think they have a free pass? He’s like those people who stand by watching others being beaten to death by the police videoing it so they can put it on their “social” media and make money. And his motivation is the same.
> There is no doubt that this list does promote violence, and the killing of anybody on that list,” he noted, adding that there are “over 300 children” on that kill list right now
And? It’s a war zone. People are killing other people. What does he expect? He talks like he’s sitting in the middle of wherever sipping a cup of tea watching a soap opera.
> There should be more pressure from western countries to take down this list, [which is] promoting violence against children and journalists through an extremist behavior and ideology
I’d be more impressed if he was calling for the end of the war so that all the people are saved and the war doesn’t spread to engulf other people in other countries. I wonder if he’s scared because he’s on this list? “Violence against children and journalists”? Shock horror.
No doubt he could leave any time he likes. Unlike the people who live there.
DON’T be in the least surprised if Johnny Miller is eventually “Assange’d” by JOGUK…
@antivx: ‘this Azovs + rest are no NAZIS !’
Well said! And there is the fact that the oligarch Kolomoski (creator of President Zelensli) also assembled and financed the AZOV murderers. : No way is this mob of treacherous swine a Nazi organisation.
@ Antivax…
You are correct.. a large proportion of these so called ‘Nazi’s’ are the ‘modern’
Satan (hehe) variant …
Which just like the Yankee AtomWaffen imbeciles are headed out of Langley by spooky alphabet neckbeards and ugly overweight women with halitosis…
Most of them are quare sadists and that’s because the Yankee so called alternative right is ripe with rancid spooky poofters..
and they run the show…
The Azovs have only used Waffen SS symbols and badges etc to beef up their image and to emulate the real hard men of the SS. Real Nazis would not be taking orders from or dying for any form of organised Jewry such those who run the Ukrainian regime on behalf of the US State Department and CIA!
