This might be accurate, idk, but I kinda feel like it's aimed at the West. But maybe it is for his own people, not sure how much they believe it as a prime motivation. Surely everyone in Russia is subject to anti-NATO propaganda, so it makes more sense for him to use this to sell the war to his own people. When he even has sympathy in the West for the NATO problem, you'd think Russians would overwhelmingly be anti-NATO.
The rest of the world knows that the nazi elements were only operating in isolated parts of Ukraine, mostly near the border with Russia.Many have alleged (though I've seen no proof) that those neonazi groups were supported by Putin all along.
idk about this. I don't think a Jewish actor is a Nazi though, so I do not believe Ukraine is led by a Nazi. I don't think the pro-Russian rebels are Nazis either though, that sounds like propaganda to me.
I think the information in the West is available to at least confirm the former statement. That there were indeed neonazi militant groups operating in Ukraine. The lie is that they had widespread control. The lie is that the Jewish Ukrainian President was supporting them.
I don't believe information in the West any more then from the East. We have our own agenda here, we're pumping out propaganda too.
There is sense, if not truth, IDK, about Putin's assertion that the Ukrainian President is a puppet of the US. I honestly don't know anything about how he came to power.
He's a puppet only in the sense that he's pro-West, pro-NATO, which makes him a de facto puppet. He has the West's support because he is aligned with Western policy. So in that sense, he's a puppet. But not in the same way Belarus is a puppet of Russia.
He came to power in 2019 after playing the role of President in a hugely popular Ukrainian TV comedy. He's not the guy who came to power in 2014 when the democratic government was overthrown. So he's not the guy who USA supported back then.
