In February 2015 Zakharchenko claimed that Kiev's pro-Western leaders were “miserable representatives of the great Jewish people".[5]

In December 2016 Zakharchenko said that Britain should be conquered: "I'm not saying 'Kyiv.' In fact, not even Berlin must be taken. We should leave it behind and conquer Britain. The Anglo-Saxons are the evil to our Russian fate. If we succeed, Russia's 'golden age' will come, according to all our predictions".[6]
