"The Kremlin also said the West wants to make 'heroes out of people who
fought on the side of Hitler' in order to divide the two former Soviet
states."

Those who remember history know that Stalin was a huge supporter of
Hitler, made a shameless pact which made the invasion of Poland which
ignited WW2 possible, cynically carved up Poland [and the Baltic states]
with Hitler, then proceeded to do business with Germany right up until
they invaded ,,, Ukrainians rightly hailed the Germans as liberators
from brutal communist oppression, murder and genocide - And also, were
not the first people to fight on the side of Hitler [france, for instance].

So they ought to use the Nazi card lightly as easily as it can be played
against them.

Russia provides written response to U.S. proposal for deescalation as
Biden's Ambassador to the UN claims Moscow is preparing to send 30,000
more troops to the Belarus-Ukraine border

Russian provided a written response to deescalation proposals from
the U.S. an official told The Washington Post on Monday
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield also
said Russia is prepared to move 30,000 more troops to the
Belarus-Ukraine border
U.S. officials have put together 'specific sanctions packages'
targeting Putin's cronies and their families
Meanwhile Washington made its highest-profile appeal to Moscow yet
at Monday's United Nations Security Council meeting in New York City,
after weeks of diplomatic discussions in Europe
Russia tried to call off the meeting via vote, but failed with only
China agreeing and three countries abstaining
Moscow's UN ambassador Vasily Nebenzya accused the US of trying to
'whip up hysterics' and denounced 'the myth of Russian aggression' in
searing remarks at the heated meeting, while denying troops near Ukraine
He compared the US's warnings of a Russian invasion to former Bush
Defense Secretary Colin Powell's infamous 2003 speech before the United
Nations before invading Iraq
Nebenzya also compared Ukraine's Zelensky government to 'nazis' and
said the US was behind their rise
It comes as US, UK intelligence reports indicate an 'imminent' or
near-certain plot by Russia to invade Ukraine

Indeed. But the fact is America and NATO, supported and bank-rolled the far right fascists and neo-Nazis who took Ukraine from Russia. Doing that was described as the best money America had ever spent.
