The Ukrainian government is out of touch with its own people, who do not want to die in the ongoing conflict between Kiev and Moscow, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has said, adding that Vladimir Zelensky has lost the support of the majority of the nation’s citizens. In an interview with Russia 1 TV released on Sunday, Lukashenko claimed that Kiev’s neo-Nazi ideology does not resonate with the population of the country.
Kiev’s neo-Nazi ideology does not resonate with Ukraine’s population, the Belarusian leader said in an interview with the Russia-1 channel released on Sunday. “There are no longer any Nazis,” he said, arguing that the few “rabid” nationalists remaining in Ukraine “no longer set the trend,” therefore, the country has been “de-nazified” – one of the stated goals of Moscow’s military operation in the neighboring state
“There are no longer any Nazis,” he claimed, arguing that those few “rabid” nationalists remaining in Ukraine “no longer set the trend,” the president stated. Thus, the neighboring country has virtually been “de-nazified,” he said. According to Lukashenko, around 70% of Ukrainians “hate Zelensky because he promises one thing and does another; because people are dying.” He did not elaborate on the statistics behind his estimates, but noted that his nation has recently faced a large inflow of Ukrainians of fighting age who are “fleeing from the war” with their families.
