Lavrov’s propaganda statement quotes RBC.
He said the USAorganized a coalition of almost all Europeans who are members of NATO and not only, EU members too, and through Ukraine, by proxy, they are waging war against Russia” with the alleged goal of “the final solution of the” Russian question “.
“Just as Hitler wanted to finally solve the ‘Jewish Question’, now, if you read Western politicians […] they say unequivocally that Russia must suffer a strategic defeat,” Lavrov said.
National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby at a briefing at the White House on the same day sharply commented Lavrov’s statement, writes Reuters.
Kirby was indignant, “how is he [Лавров] dare to compare anything to the Holocaust, anything, much less the war they started.”
Kirby said Lavrov’s comment yesterday was “almost so absurd” that it’s not worth a reaction. But the manner in which the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry tried to present the United States “in terms of Hitler and the Holocaust” is offensive, he stressed.
Lavrov manipulates and lies, adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podolyak said in a commentary to Ukrinform.
“Russia demonstrates a total denial of humanism and historical truth. It does this as aggressively as possible. The more and more voluminously Lavrov speaks, the more the humanistic world sees how Russians distort not only the current reality, but also the well-known historical context. There is a demonstrative rhetoric of classical Kremlin cynicism, unconditional manipulation and propaganda lies,” he said.
The adviser to the head of the Presidential Office called Lavrov’s rhetoric dangerous. As writes “Ukrinform”Podolyak stressed that the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry publicly voiced an insulting maxim about Russia’s alleged right to kill Ukrainians, falsely referring to the memory of the Holocaust and idealizing Hitler’s crimes in World War II.
“I will emphasize the fundamental essence of what is happening. It was Russia that deliberately violated international law and tore apart the territorial integrity of another country. It was Russia that invaded Ukraine with an army. It was Russia that was waging an unconditional and demonstrative genocidal war on our territory, purposefully striking at our civilians. itself from the rest of the democratic world with its own fierce aggression and terrible war crimes in Ukraine. It is Russia that perfectly copies the behavior of the well-known leader of the Nazi regime of the middle of the last century and his practice of ethnic genocide, concentration camps, forced deportation,” he concluded.
“Final Solution” specified in the electronic Jewish encyclopedia, a euphemism coined in Nazi Germany during the Second World War, which denoted a plan for the physical extermination of Jews in Europe. The plan killed 6 million Jews and other minorities, Reuters notes.
Lavrov has made outrageous statements about Hitler before, such as last May comparing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the leader of Nazi Germany because he “also had Jewish blood.” it anti-semitic remark outraged Israel.
