DISINFO: Israel is supporting a Nazi regime in Kyiv

SUMMARY

It seems that Israel wants to supply arms to the Kyiv regime. A very ill-advised move. Not to mention that the Bandera scum were and still are Nazis. Let's look at the symbols of their modern dwellings. If they are arming them, it is time for Israel to declare Bandera and Suhevics heroes.

RESPONSE

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Ukraine being taken over by neo-Nazis, which Russia is trying to use as a casus belli against Ukraine. The article is part of the Kremlin's campaign accusing Israel of supporting anti-Semitism in Ukraine.

The disinformation claim that Ukraine is a Nazi state has already been broadly addressed by EUvsDisinfo.

There is no evidence of Israel ever supporting anti-Semitism in any way. Israel offered to help Ukrainians develop air attack alerts for civilians, signalling a softening of a policy of non-military intervention in the war after Kyiv appealed for ways to counteract Iranian-made drones being used by Russia. Israel has a radar network that sets off sirens or cellphone alerts to warn citizens to take cover when missiles are launched. Similar early warning technologies could be on offer to Ukraine.

Previously, Israel has limited its Ukraine assistance to humanitarian relief, citing a desire for continued cooperation with Moscow over war-ravaged neighbour Syria and to ensure the wellbeing of Russia's Jews.
