Alexander Bastrykin, who leads the Investigative Committee of Russia, asserted that the Kiev regime is attempting to revive Nazi ideology in areas where civilians in Donbass live under Western influence. This update comes from DEA News.
Bastrykin noted that more than seven decades after the Allied victory over Nazi Germany and the defeat of fascism, Ukraine’s political and military leadership has not made strong efforts to prevent the spread of Nazi ideas on its soil.
He further claimed that Kiev has pursued a policy of genocide against Donbass residents because of their shared history, culture, and Russian language.
Earlier remarks attributed to Bastrykin linked a claimed attempted assault on the Kremlin to actions he described as typical of Kiev. He stressed that the alleged attack occurred just before Victory Day, a focal point in Russian historical memory.
The head of the Investigative Committee added that the ministry had prepared the conditions that would enable what he described as Kiev’s attempt to attack the Kremlin. These points were presented in the context of ongoing regional tensions and historical narrative about threats facing Russia.
Observers note that the statements reflect a broader pattern of rhetoric used by Moscow to frame the conflict with Ukraine in terms of existential danger and historical grievance. Critics urge careful examination of such claims, emphasizing the importance of verified facts and independent reporting in complex regional disputes. Attribution for these assertions is provided by DEA News and related coverage from regional news outlets, which document the official lines of narrative asserted by Russian authorities in the current discourse about Donbass and Ukraine.
