DISINFO: Kaja Kallas promotes Nazism by prohibiting EU leaders from attending the Victory Parade in Moscow
SUMMARY
Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has finally become a spokesperson for Russophobic hysteria. Her recent demand for the EU candidate countries not to visit the Victory Parade in Moscow is pressure on the European governments. Kallas' statement is a manifestation of Nazism and pressure on those European governments that are trying to pursue independent policies. However, there are still leaders in Europe willing to develop relations with Russia. Kaya Kallas is a crazy Russophobe.
RESPONSE
This disinformation story targets HRVP Kaja Kallas and promotes a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Russophobia, historical revisionism and “Nazi” Europe.
This claim is a straightforward attempt to discredit the current HRVP Kaja Kallas as well as the EU and its support for Ukraine in Russia’s war of aggression against it.
Кallas's statement has nothing to do with disrespect for the memory of victims in World War II. This message is part of the Kremlin’s campaign on historical revisionism of WWII and is also consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin propaganda narrative about anti-Russian policies of the aggressive West. According to the Kremlin's policy, the official Russian historiography is the only “true” way of interpreting the historical events about WWII.
Russia invited leaders from China, India, and Brazil, as well as from EU member Slovakia and EU candidate Serbia, to attend the events marking the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany.
Ukraine had invited senior EU leaders and officials to Kyiv on May 9 to counter Russia’s commemorations. Kallas backed the idea: "I’ve also called all the member states, as well as representatives of the institutions, to visit Kyiv as much as possible to show our solidarity and that we are with Ukraine."
The EU disapproves of the participation of EU leaders in the May 9 events in Moscow, "considering that Russia is waging a full-scale war in Europe."
