DISINFO: Zelensky works as the head of a neo-fascist puppet neo-colonial regime

SUMMARY

On April 30, Hitler committed suicide. Will the war criminal and the head of the Ukrainian neo-fascist regime Zelensky commit suicide? - No. These are different kinds of Fascism. Hitler's Fascism is a natural radical Fascism-Nazism - Hitler believed in his ideas. Zelensky's Fascism is commercial Fascism - he works as the head of a neo-fascist puppet neo-colonial regime, and he himself does not believe what he says. Therefore, Zelensky will not choose suicide, but most likely will run away to his Masters – maybe London, Paris, Brussels or Warsaw.

RESPONSE

Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Nazi Ukraine, often presented as justification for the full-scale Russian military aggression against Ukraine, which started on February 24 2022. The article also Recurring pro- attacks Ukraine’s sovereignty and leadership, especially President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, portraying Ukraine as a puppet state.

Comparisons between Zelensky and Hitler are classic disinformation tactics designed to mislead and manipulate public opinion. Interestingly, this message tries to whitewash Adolf Hitler, presenting him as a devoted representative of the “genuine, non-commercial” Nazism.

As for accusations about Ukrainians wearing Nazi symbols today, this is a fabrication from pro-Kremlin outlets. The myth of Nazi-ruled Ukraine has been the cornerstone of Russian disinformation about the country since the very beginning of the 2013-14 Euromaidan protests, when it was used to discredit the pro-European popular uprising in Kyiv and, subsequently, the broader pro-Western shift in Ukraine's foreign policy. The accusation of Nazism and building a link to Nazi Germany is one of the favourite techniques of pro-Kremlin outlets. Read our article Russian revisionism ahead of 9 May: ‘Modern Europe is reincarnated Nazism’.

The EU supports Ukraine’s sovereignty and has no saying on what the Ukrainian government should do. Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state with a democratically elected president and parliament. Its independence and territorial integrity is internationally recognised by the whole world, including Russia in 1991.

See similar cases claiming that Ukrainians are the new Nazis, their actions directed by Europe against Russia, Ukraine is ruled by a Nazi juntaUkrainian army has been attacking civilian areas in Donetsk with artillery for eight years and a Nazi symbol was found on the Commander in Chief of the armed forces of Ukraine.
