Kremlin-affiliated officials on Twitter endorsed war correspondent Lara Logan’s comments after she linked Ukrainian battalions to Nazis and Third-Reich occultism, and dismissed Russia’s invasion as having caused a humanitarian crisis in the former Soviet republic. . .
She added, “There’s a long history of the United States and our intelligence agencies funding and arming Nazis in Ukraine.” Logan continued to point out that there are photographs available online depicting Ukrainian soldiers holding up the NATO flag alongside Nazi emblems like the swastika and black sun.
Snippets of her conversation were widely spread by the verified accounts of Russian officials, like Russia’s deputy permanent representative to the United Nations Alexander Alimov. The official account for Russia’s Council of Europe — whose rights of representation were recently suspended — also tweeted the conversation.
