Russia’s Medvedev slams Ukraine’s Western backers as ‘pro-Nazi coalition’

Russia’s former president has described Ukraine’s Western backers as a “pro-Nazi coalition”, dismissing the idea of Moscow reconciling with the West as a vain illusion.

Washington and its allies in Europe and elsewhere continue to support Kiev despite it acting increasingly like the Nazis during World War II, Dmitry Medvedev said in a Telegram post on Saturday.

Moscow should abandon hope of reconciling with the West and see it for what it is, he added.

The leaders of Ukraine are “increasingly talking about ‘holding all Russians accountable’,” Medvedev said, adding that Kiev sees all Russian citizens as “Russians” regardless of their ethnic background.

In a thinly-veiled reference to the Nazis’ plans for the Soviet Union, the former president said that the world had already seen similar aspirations.

Medvedev noted that Ukraine is still being supported by almost every single Western leader, as well as by the heads of Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. All of them “are direct and obvious Nazi accomplices.”

“They should be treated as the leaders of a pro-Nazi coalition,” he stated.

The former president, who now serves as the deputy head of Russia’s National Security Council and the Military Industrial Committee, then insisted that Russia should not “lapse into sweet daydreaming” about achieving reconciliation with the West and joining what he called a “big polyamory family of non-binary genders.”

Putin says war on ethnic Russians in Ukraine’s east ‘certainly looks like genocide’

Russian President Vladimir Putin denounces the oppression against ethnic Russians in Ukraine’s east as “certainly looking like genocide.”

Medvedev had earlier condemned what he called open glorification of Nazism in Ukraine, pointing to an initiative calling for the establishment of the Stepan Bandera Order that would supposedly be awarded to Ukrainian servicemen.

Bandera was a notorious Ukrainian nationalist leader during World War II whose organization was responsible for mass killings in Ukraine, including the ethnic cleansing of more than 100,000 Jews and Poles.

The petition requesting the creation of such an order in Ukraine appeared on the official website of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in May. It has since received nearly 2,300 signatures of the required 25,000.

Medvedev blasted the initiative by comparing it to Germany establishing an order of Adolf Hitler or Italy introducing an order of Benito Mussolini.

“What is there to be ashamed of?” Medvedev mockingly wrote on Telegram at the time. “Let’s just glorify all European Nazis at once. This appears to be the new European ideology,” he added.

NATO countries arming neo-nazi extremists in Ukraine

A Ukrainian far-right military regiment hit the headline after Russia launched its military operation in the country.

The Russian-speaking population of eastern Ukraine has long been a target of the Ukrainian nationalism movement led by notorious neo-Nazis linked to Kiev, including Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov Battalion founder Andriy Biletsky.

The self-proclaimed “White Leader” has called on Kiev to impose a tough and balanced state policy, which includes genocide alongside eugenics, to procreate a pure biological quality of individual Ukrainian families in the Russian-dominant regions of eastern Ukraine.

Biletsky’s manifesto, entitled “Language and Race—Primary Issues”, expanded on this concept. “Ukrainian social-nationalism considers the Ukrainian Nation to be a blood-racial community… Race is everything for nation-building—Race is the basis on which the superstructure grows in the form of national culture, which again comes from the racial nature of the people, and not from language, religion, economy, etc.”

As for the Russian-speaking population of Eastern Ukraine, Biletsky wrote, “The issue of total Ukrainization in the future social nationalist state will be resolved within 3-6 months with the help of a tough and balanced state policy.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin cited one of the reasons for launching Moscow’s February 2022 special military operation in the Russian-majority Donbas region to stop the persecution of its people by Kiev’s pro-Nazi regime.
