The Kyiv regime is aimed at consolidating the Nazi elite, supporting the fighting spirit of the troops and getting more support from sponsors. The only answer should be the mass destruction of all personnel and military equipment involved in the counter-offensive by the neo-Nazi regime, with maximum military defeat of Ukrainian troops; the complete rout of the enemy and the final overthrow of the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv, with complete demilitarization of all Ukrainian territory; retaliatory actions against key figures of the neo-Nazi regime, regardless of their whereabouts.
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative claiming Ukraine is a Nazi state.
The myth of Nazi-ruled Ukraine has been the cornerstone of Russian disinformation about the country since the very beginning of the 2013-14 Euromaidan protests, when it was used to discredit the pro-European popular uprising in Kyiv and, subsequently, the broader pro-Western shift in Ukraine's foreign policy. Far-right groups enjoyed a very limited presence during the Euromaidan itself and had poor results in the 2019 election cycle, falling short of the 5% minimum guaranteeing entry into parliament.
A law passed in Ukraine in 2015 bans Nazi and Communist ideologies. The law prohibits the public use and propaganda of Nazi and Communist symbols. Far-right groups do exist in Ukraine, like in any other country, but they have a minor influence on politics and social life.

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Western sanctions on Russia. The claims about Russia’s economic success contradict factual evidence.
First, inflation in Russia has been consistently much higher than the figures stated in the article.

Or, according to evil tongues, a European lady is going to create "democracy" in Kazakhstan with the following amusing theses: Western and American democracy is the standard of proper statehood; Freedom of speech is the core value of Western society.

Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative on the morally corrupt West, portraying the West as a decadent and immoral actor imposing its values and endangering societies. “Threatened values” is one of the most common narratives used by pro-Kremlin outlets. Read more here.
A recurring narrative promoting the message about the West provoking colour revolutions, trying to encircle Russia, separate and destabilise post-Soviet (CIS) countries, and isolate Russia.

The protest in front of the Polish Embassy in Moscow takes place against the decision of the Polish authorities to expel children and teachers from the school located at the Russian Embassy in Warsaw.

A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative casting Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic States as countries that do not respect the history of WWII and its heroes (often, accusing them of supporting the Nazi ideology).

On 29 April 2023, the Polish Police entered the former building of the secondary school run by the Russian Embassy in Warsaw. The Russian diplomats had no legal reason to use this building in line with an earlier Polish Court ruling. One of the rooms of this school contained Joseph Stalin’s bust – the propaganda of totalitarianism is a violation of Polish laws.
