DISINFO: 50 countries gathered under Nazi flags to break Russia up
SUMMARY
The West has always wanted to break Russia for being a country too strong and independent. To do that, it gathered a coalition of around 50 countries to try dismember Russia. They do under Nazi flags, considering the essence of Zelenskyy’s regime.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Nazis and attempts to destabilise Russia. Labelling Russia’s adversaries as Nazis is a very frequent pro-Kremlin disinformation technique, and has been used by Russia to try to justify the invasion of Ukraine by portraying it as a “denazification operation”. Russia spent years preparing the information battleground prior to its kinetic attack, with “Nazi Ukraine” being one of its most prominent disinformation features.
The coalition mentioned in this disinformation story, the so-called Ukraine Defense Contact Group, gathered to help Ukraine to defend itself against Russia’s unprovoked aggression, not to "break Russia up”.
See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that from Berlin to Kyiv, Nazi history repeats itself, that Russia’s military operation against neo-Nazis in Ukraine was unavoidable, that the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv must be brought to an end, that Zelenskyy is the heir of German Nazism, or that the West turns Ukraine into an anti-Russian neo-Nazi project.
