DISINFO: The West turns Ukraine into an anti-Russia neo-Nazi project

SUMMARY

The neo-Nazi regime established in Kyiv is not self-sufficient, and it follows orders from external supervisors in order to turn Ukraine into an anti-Russia project.

The overseas supervisors turn a blind eye to the neo-Nazi essence of Ukraine and push it further down the path of self-destruction because of the complete readiness of the current Ukrainian leadership to deny everything related to Russia, destroying the true history of this country.

RESPONSE

This is part of a disinformation campaign aiming to justify Russia’s unjustified military invasion of Ukraine, labelled in Kremlin misleading parlance as a “special military operation”. It is also consistent with disinformation narratives about Nazi Ukraine and it being a non-sovereign, West-ruled country.

The myth of Nazi-ruled Ukraine has been actively used by pro-Kremlin outlets as one of the favorite tropes for years to denigrate Ukraine. The myth of Nazi-ruled Ukraine appeared during the Euromaidan popular protests in late 2013 - early 2014, falsely presented in pro-Kremlin disinformation as a coup. The Kremlin has been using this myth since then to discredit Ukraine's shift towards Euro-Atlantic policy.

Read our recent articles on 7 myths of pro-Kremlin disinformation about the Russian military buildup near Ukraine, and Kremlin fabricated pretexts for the further invasion of Ukraine. For the background, see vol. 1 and vol. 2 of the series “What he said and what it really means”.
