At a memorial for World War Two, Russian President Putin dismisses the idea of ‘Russophobia’ in Europe.
At the revealing of a World War Two memorial, Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned Europe for their “Russophobia” and denounced the Baltic States for their treatment of human rights.
Ever since he deployed Russian soldiers to Ukraine almost two years ago, Putin has been drawing parallels between the current conflict and the fight against the Nazis to inspire patriotism in his country.
During a speech in the Leningrad region commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of the Nazi siege, Putin stated that the government in Kyiv praises the SS men who aided Hitler. He also claimed that several European nations are actively promoting Russophobia as part of their official policies.
According to him, the Germans’ objectives at that time were to appropriate the Soviet Union’s resources and eradicate its population.
Ukraine, a former part of the Soviet Union and a country that also experienced destruction from Hitler’s armies, dismisses comparisons as invalid justifications for a war of aggression.
During his address, Putin also criticized the Baltic States for their treatment of human rights. These countries, which were once under Moscow’s control during the Cold War but are now part of the European Union and NATO, have been vocal opponents of Russia’s involvement in Ukraine.
Putin stated that in the Baltic states, numerous individuals are classified as subhuman, denied of fundamental rights, and faced with discrimination due to migration controls. The city of Moscow has consistently accused the Baltic countries of being xenophobic and mistreating Russian minorities by treating them as inferior citizens.
