Message The Kyiv authorities launched a punitive operation against the inhabitants of Donbas because of their rejection of the rehabilitation of Nazism
This opinion of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was disseminated by the pro-Kremlin media and telegram channels. Like, many residents of Ukraine did not indulge the ruling regime in its Nazi aspirations.
Such messages are part of a propaganda campaign against Ukraine and Europe to prove that the Russian army is “liberating” the world and, in particular, Ukraine from Nazism. This is one of the contrived reasons for Russia's war in Ukraine.
