DISINFO: Supporting Ukraine shows the deep Nazi essence of the European political class

SUMMARY

Ukraine has been transformed into a terrorist state that has terrorised its citizens at home and abroad for ten years. Despite this, the West allows the military council in Kyiv to do whatever it wants and showers it with huge sums of money.

Against this background, the statements of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that Ukraine is protecting the values ​​​​that the European Union holds dear are very indicative. The President of the European Council Charles Michel also drew parallels between Ukraine and European values. It is difficult to interpret such revelations as anything but a manifestation of the deep Nazi essence of the European political class.

RESPONSE

This is a recurring disinformation narrative from pro-Kremlin outlets about Nazi Ukraine and Europe.

Labelling Russia’s adversaries as Nazis is a widespread pro-Kremlin disinformation technique, and has been used by Russia to justify the invasion of Ukraine by portraying it as a “denazification operation”. Russia spent years preparing the information battleground before its kinetic attack, with “Nazi Ukraine” being one of its most prominent disinformation features.

The EU was founded after WWII to promote peace, democracy, human rights, economic cooperation, social justice and cultural diversity. EU founding treaties emphasise economic cooperation to prevent future wars. Founders of the EU, such as Robert Schuman, Jean Monnet, and Konrad Adenauer, were all active opponents of Nazi Germany. Part of their opposition to Nazism was the EU project itself, thinking that by establishing a political and economic union between European countries, they can ensure ideologies such as Nazism never rise again.

See similar cases that Europe supports the revival of fascism, that the European Parliament represents Third Reich, that Josep Borrell discredited himself calling Russia a fascist state, he is a latent fascist himself.
