MINSK, 9 May (BelTA) - Western elites have made Nazism a state ideology in Ukraine, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a ceremony on the occasion of the 77th anniversary of Great Victory at the Victory Monument in Minsk on 9 May, BelTA has learned.
"Followers of the Nazis are obsessed with the idea of revanchism. But they are not willing to fight openly with the heirs of the Soviet people. Well, apparently they've learned their lesson. Therefore, they pump Ukraine with weapons, fight with memorials, symbols, veterans, prisoners of concentration camps and even their families, the head of state stated. "In the darkest dream we could ever imagine that Nazism would rear its head again there, in the fraternal country which miraculously survived under the boot of the fascist occupiers."
It is the Western elites who have nurtured "this monster" in Ukraine, overthrew the legitimate government, armed the newly-emerged henchmen of Bandera and Shukhevich to the teeth, made Nazism the state ideology, and pitted the kin peoples of Ukraine and Russia against each other, the president said.
