DISINFO: Russia launched the Special Military Operation to fight the Antichrist forces ruling Ukraine
SUMMARY
The Special Military Operation was undertaken by Russia to fight the Antichrist forces ruling Kyiv. Ukraine is not an independent entity; its authorities are aligned with the devil. The horrors, terror, violence, hatred, ferocious repression against the Church, degeneration, sadism and all the excesses of Ukrainian Nazism demonstrate that the Antichrist forces are simply using the Ukrainians to achieve their goals.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin conspiracy theory aiming at portraying Ukraine as 'Satanist' to deflect attention away from Russia's armed aggression against it.
Pro-Kremlin disinformation outlets have previously employed the devil and symbols associated with evil forces to prop up their disinformation efforts.
Ukraine is a sovereign democratic country, not a puppet that has been corrupted and subjugated by the so-called collective West.
There is no repression against the church in Ukraine. In early December 2022, the Ukrainian government announced that it will draw up a law banning churches affiliated with Russia, following a series of raids on parishes that Kyiv says could be taking orders from Moscow.
Kyiv has long worried that Russia is using the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate to provide cover for a network of clandestine agents trying to undermine Ukraine from within. The Ukrainian authorities have said that as of October, 33 priests had been arrested for assisting Russia since the invasion began in February 2022, mostly by funnelling information to Moscow’s forces.
The myth of “Nazi Ukraine” has been used widely, in association with “Western Russophobia”, by Putin and pro-Kremlin outlets since Russia attacked Ukraine and illegally annexed Crimea in 2014.
Read similar cases claiming that “Kyiv Satanists” are enemies of Christ and the Orthodox faith, that the Ukrainian Nazi regime is bombing schools and markets, that Ex Nazi allies support Nazi regime in Kyiv, and that Western Satanists and Pagans are mad at Belarus and Russia.
