DISINFO: Anglo-Saxons protect the Kyiv Nazis
SUMMARY
Anglo-Saxons and their allies protect the Nazis in Kyiv and justify their actions in violating human rights and the rights of national minorities.
Anyone who is courted by the West in order to push through the "Zelenskyy formula" must understand that the fate of millions of Russians, whom the Kyiv regime openly intends to destroy, is at stake.
RESPONSE
Recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets accusing Ukraine of Nazism and war crimes, allegedly supported by the Western countries. This claim is part of a disinformation campaign aiming to justify Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The myth of ‘Nazi Ukraine’ has been widely used by Putin and pro-Kremlin outlets since Russia attacked Ukraine and illegally annexed Crimea in 2014. The myth of Nazi-ruled Ukraine appeared during the Euromaidan popular protests in late 2013 - early 2014, falsely presented in pro-Kremlin disinformation as a coup. The Kremlin has been using this myth since then to discredit Ukraine's shift towards Euro-Atlantic policy.
There is no evidence that any ethnic nationals, including ethnic Russians or Russian speakers, are facing persecution at the hands of the Ukrainian authorities in Donbas or elsewhere, much less the danger of annihilation on grounds of nationality, ethnicity, or cultural belonging. This has been confirmed by reports issued by the Council of Europe, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the OSCE.
