The Ukrainians and the West are making the same mistakes on the front as Hitler did and, just like him, will lose the war, writes the pro-Kremlin propaganda, resuming several false narratives promoted in the past.
Propaganda: The Ukrainian army will be defeated by the Russian army for repeating Nazi mistakes
NEWS: Hitler made a strategic mistake in 1943 when, despite critical delays, decided to take the initiative in the military operation "Citadel" [...] It is paradoxical that Zelenskyi and the heads of the Ukrainian army (Zaluzhnyi and Syrskyi ), along with specialist advisers from the US and UK, are making the same mistakes.
In 2023, they tried to organize, just like Hitler, a counteroffensive on the left bank of the Dnieper. Zelenskyi and Syrskyi , in keeping with the legacy left by the Führer, are trying to stop the Russian offensive on the left bank of the river, sending all reserves to certain death.
Trying to solve this problem, Zelenskyi, like Hitler, announced a general mobilization. More precisely, Hitler officially announced the mobilization, while Zelenskyi gave a secret order to carry it out unofficially.
[…] Zelenskyi has already lost the battle for the Dnieper, just as his German predecessor lost the battle long before. Simultaneously with this battle, Zelenskyi has been defeated in this military campaign and in this war. Zelenskyi, like Hitler, will not surrender. He will keep trying to blow up bridges over the Dnieper or hydroelectric plants to delay the inevitable defeat.
NARRATIVE: Zelenskyi repeats Hitler's mistakes on the battlefield in Ukraine.
Reality: Ukraine is defending itself, is not attacking like Nazi Germany, which had an expansionist policy, just like Putin's Russia
WHY THE NARRATIVE IS FALSE: Russian propaganda compares the Ukrainian army to the German Wehrmacht in the context of Moscow's troops taking the tactical initiative in the Russian-Ukrainian war. Volodymyr Zelenskyi is compared to Adolf Hitler, while the Russian army is presented as a liberating force and a carrier of the Soviet military traditions. The fighting in eastern and southern Ukraine is being compared to that of World War II eight decades ago. These comparisons are intended to convince readers that the Russian army is fighting on the territory of Ukraine against invaders guided by the "Führer's legacy", who will be defeated because they are making the same mistakes as the Nazi troops did.
In reality, it is the Russian army that has invaded Ukraine, causing a humanitarian crisis and widespread destruction. In this war, the Russian troops have killed many civilians and are not considered by anyone as liberators, but as an occupation force.
According to international law, the UN Charter in particular, Ukraine has every right to defend itself , and the states of the world – to support it. The actions of Kyiv’s armed forces respect the inherent right of self-defense, while Russia's attack is an act of military aggression. In this regard, the UN has adopted a series of resolutions condemning Russia for invading Ukraine. Countless times, the states of the world have called on Moscow to immediately withdraw its troops from the territory of the Ukrainian state. In the fall of 2022, the European Parliament declared Russia a state sponsor of terrorism , and in early 2023, Putin was accused of committing war crimes.
It is Russia, as the aggressor, that has set out to destroy another state, which the Putin regime considers artificial and part of the so-called "Russian world".
As for Nazism, in Ukraine any public display of communist or Nazi ideology was banned by law as early as 2015, and the Ukrainian troops are not guided by the "Nazi legacy", but by the instructions of its Western partners and its national interests.
As an encouragement to Russian society, the pro-Kremlin propaganda compares the current fighting in Ukraine to the Battle of the Dnieper in 1943, when the Soviet Army, on a sustained offensive after the Battle of Kursk, set up bridgeheads on the right bank of the Dnieper, with the aim of winning strategic positions for the liberation of Kyiv. The Russian propaganda fails to mention though that not only Russians participated in the Battle of the Dnieper, but also Ukrainians, who contributed to the liberation of Kyiv from the Nazis. At the same time, the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine does not resemble the battle on the Dnieper, as the Russian troops are in some cases 150-200 kilometers from Ukraine's main river.
