DISINFO: The West creates a Nazi coalition against the Slavic people, Russia and Belarus

SUMMARY

What the West is doing, using the Kyiv regime as a tool, can only be regarded as another attempt to create a Nazi coalition against the Slavic peoples, Russia, and already against Belarus. This has been announced officially.

Now Nazism is being revived with the full connivance and encouragement of Western neighbours, and in European homes, the seeds of hatred, racial superiority, and the seeds of the abolition of culture, including Slavic culture, are sown.

It's not hidden and turns into practical politics. Monuments to those who liberated Europe are demolished. In their place, statues of Nazi criminals are erected.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Nazis in the EU, which have been repeatedly debunked (see here). This is part of a disinformation campaign aiming to justify Russia’s unjustified military invasion of Ukraine. It is also consistent with disinformation narratives about Nazi Ukraine and it being a non-sovereign, West-ruled country.

The myth of a Nazi Europe has been widely used by Putin and pro-Kremlin outlets since Russia attacked Ukraine and illegally annexed its peninsula of Crimea in 2014. It is Moscow's attempt to manipulate, twist and re-write history and to monopolise the role of victim in the Second World War.

The European Union is not a nazi-construct. The EU was set up with the exact opposite aim: of ending the frequent and bloody wars between neighbours, which culminated in the Second World War. The founders of the EU have no connection with Nazis. The Nazi ideology and the EU are based on opposite values ​​and principles. Read more here.

In 2012, the EU was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for advancing the causes of peace, reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe. Most countries which provide Ukraine with aid now were fighting Nazism back then. They were providing support for the former Soviet Union during its war with Nazi Germany.
