Biden speaks about strengths of democracy at the conclusion of his Europe trip. Watch live.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he sent troops into Ukraine to depose “Nazis” running the country. But top Russian propagandist Margarita Simonyan, one of the war’s key cheerleaders, took Moscow’s discredited invasion pretext a step further Saturday on a pro-Kremlin television talk show, saying that “Nazis” make up a large part of the Ukrainian population.
Putin originally called his war a mission to “demilitarize and denazify” Ukraine, portraying the country as hostage to a small group of political leaders whom he called “neo-Nazis” and “drug addicts.” Simonyan, editor in chief of Russia Today, pontificated at length Saturday on pro-Kremlin NTV about the psychology of Germans during the Nazi era, arguing that any Ukrainian who resisted Russia must be a Nazi.
Simonyan added: “What makes you a Nazi is your bestial nature, your bestial hatred and your bestial willingness to tear out the eyes of children on the basis of nationality.”
