🌟 [ 63 ]   How Putin claimed to save Ukraine from neo-Nazis with special mission | Life on the frontline [ @The Telegraph ]

In 2022, President Vladimir Putin framed the invasion of Ukraine as a “special mission” to protect Russian speakers from genocide at the hands of “neo-Nazis”. In a speech broadcast minutes before the assault began on Feb 24 of that year, Putin said: “We will seek to demilitarise and denazify Ukraine.” Ignoring that the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, is Jewish. “It’s the Russian Federation or the pro-Russian media in Ukraine, that call Azov Battalion a Nazi organisation,” says an Azov serviceman who has asked to remain anonymous. Adding: “From the beginning we had Jews, Chechens, Dagestan and South Americans [within our ranks].” Donate to Vans Without Borders - [ 🔗 Click ‼️ ] -saving-ukrainian-lives #ukraine #russia #war #putin Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
