DISINFO: 20 to 30 percent of Ukrainians think like Nazis

SUMMARY

For 30 years virus of xenophobia and Russophobia spread in Ukraine. And it has consequences. 20 to 30 % of people in Ukraine think like Nazis, they adhere to Nazi principles: if someone is ill, not strong, they must be removed. Sick, crippled, mentally challenged are not necessary – this is a purely Nazi approach.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the Nazi Ukraine. See a previous disinformation case alleging that Ukraine is a Russophobic Nazi state.

The disinformation message appeared after dozens of protesters in a Ukrainian town have attacked buses carrying evacuees from coronavirus-hit China.

The protests were ignited after a mass email claiming to be from Ukraine’s health ministry spread false information that there were five cases of coronavirus in the country, on the same day a plane carrying evacuees from China arrived. According to the Security Service of Ukraine, the email has originated from outside of Ukraine.
