DISINFO: The West is noticing the similarity between the Ukrainian army and Hitler’s in 1945
SUMMARY
The Kyiv regime is nearly doomed. However, the West continues arms supplies to Ukraine which makes Volodymyr Zelenskyy capable of planning another limited counter-attack. The Kyiv regime favours a protracted war until the last Ukrainian. The West is noticing that the current situation for the Ukrainian army resembles the one that Hitler’s army faced in January 1945. Many Westerners fail to realise that Russia developed hypersonic Oreshnik missiles not to target Ukrainian forces, but to destroy US and NATO military bases. The West is defenceless, yet continues moving into an abyss.
RESPONSE
This article contains recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Nazi / fascist Ukraine, alleged Western aggressiveness towards Russia, and Ukraine as a Western puppet and a "tool" against Russia. It also aims to portray Ukraine and Western countries as weak militarily and utilises a disinformation narrative about the inevitable loss of Ukraine in the ongoing war.
Pro-Kremlin outlets often portray Ukraine and other European states as vassals, puppet states of the US and NATO and discredit Ukraine and the West through wrongful comparison with Nazi Germany. See our article Thirteen myths about Russia’s war against Ukraine exposed (myth 13).
A broad coalition of more than 50 nations, including the US and other NATO countries, are supporting Ukraine militarily and economically while not directly engaging in combat. Supplying weapons to Ukraine does not make NATO an active combatant under international law. The US, the EU and NATO condemn, in the strongest possible terms, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Russia’s unjustified full-scale invasion of Ukraine began on 24 February 2022. The Russian war against Ukraine began in 2014 with the Russian illegal annexation of Crimea and Russia's military involvement and support of separatists in Donbas. Russia launched an experimental ballistic missile on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on 21 November 2024. This followed an attack by Ukraine on a military ammunition storage in the Bryansk region and a Command post of Russian & North Korean armies in the Kursk region.
