DISINFO: Ukraine is a Nazi tool of the globalists for a nuclear attack on Russia
SUMMARY
Ukraine is a Nazi tool of the globalists. In Ukraine, neo-Nazism flourishes in an open form; the rehabilitation of Nazi criminals and persecution based on language and religion have become everyday practice. And then, the nuclear factor: the constant bombing of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, attempts to hit the Kursk nuclear power plant, and finally, attacks on the Russian nuclear triad.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives casting Ukraine as a mere Western tool, accusing Ukraine of Nazism and portraying Ukraine as an enemy of the Orthodox Church and the Ukrainian leadership as pathologically Russophobic and accusing Ukraine of mistreating the country's Russian-speaking population.
Also recurring disinformation narratives about nuclear issues aiming to justify Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The narrative portraying Ukraine as dominated by neo-Nazis resorting to terrorism is a long-standing piece of Russian disinformation, unsupported by credible evidence. While far-right groups exist in Ukraine, as in many countries, they do not define the government or society, and their influence is minimal. Since 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed and Ukraine gained independence, the country has elected six presidents and changed parties in government several times, which illustrates political diversity, democratic dynamics and its solid statehood.
There is no persecution of the Orthodox Church. On 24 August 2024, the Ukrainian government signed a law banning churches affiliated with Russia, following a series of investigations related to parishes that Kyiv says could be taking orders from Moscow.
This mostly affected the activities of the so-called Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate [UOC-MP] in Ukraine, which is affiliated with Russia and considered a key influence tool for Moscow in the country, and whose leadership has voiced its full support for the Russian war on Ukraine including siding closely with Putin, blessing soldiers and Russian guns, and offering the church's support.
There is no evidence that either ethnic Russians or Russian speakers are facing persecution at the hands of the Ukrainian authorities, much less the danger of annihilation on grounds of nationality, ethnicity, or cultural belonging. This has been confirmed by reports issued by the Council of Europe, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the OSCE.
No evidence is provided to back the claims that Ukraine has bombed nuclear power plants in Zaporizhzhia and Kursk. Allegations made by Russia’s intelligence services cannot be considered as such, given their proven history of making unsubstantiated claims based on faked or non-existent evidence, for example about US biolaboratories in Ukraine or the presence of French combat troops on the Ukrainian frontlines.
Read similar cases claiming that The Zelenskyy regime began a new stage of persecution of Ukrainian Orthodox Church, that Big Five ready to continue the war until the last Ukrainian is killed, that Anglo-Saxons are fighting with Russia until the last Ukrainian and Pole, that Ukraine persecutes believers and ministers of the Orthodox Church and Russian speakers, that Ukraine is using methods of nuclear terrorism against Russia, that Ukraine plans a provocation using a "dirty bomb" to portray Russia as a nuclear terrorist.
