kremlin is manipulating history of Second World War to discredit Ukraine
investigative committee of russia has joined a large-scale information campaign aimed at artificially identifying Ukrainians with nazis and creating an ideological justification for the modern war.
The agency accuses Ukraine of “genocide in Donbas”, directly comparing the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with those of the Nazis during the Second World War. This is a cynical manipulation: the propaganda of the aggressor state is trying to equate the crimes of Hitler’s Germany with Ukraine’s defense of its own territories.
This activity is part of a systematic campaign timed to coincide with putin’s “day of remembrance for the victims of the genocide of the soviet people”. The mass involvement of state agencies in the campaign shows that the kremlin’s real goal is not to honor the memory of the dead, but to engage in anti-Ukrainian manipulations.
russian propaganda deliberately ignores the fact that Ukrainians, as part of the soviet army, suffered huge losses and made a significant contribution to the victory over Nazism. russia is once again rewriting history – they are trying to “erase” the Ukrainian people from the list of victors over Nazism, monopolizing this role for the russians.
