Putin's Russia is pure manifestation of classical fascism - Podolyak

Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian presidential office, has said that Putin's Russia is a pure manifestation of classical fascism in the 21st century.

Podolyak said this on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.

"At the beginning of war RF tried to disguise its true goals with various denials, now Kremlin speaks only of one goal – destruction of Ukraine as a state and mass murder of Ukrainians as a nation," Podolyak said.

He believes that "Putin's Russia is a pure manifestation of classical fascism in the 21st century."

Podolyak earlier said that the war cannot end with a compromise at the expense of Ukrainian territories and the lives of Ukrainians and that Russia must definitely lose on the battlefield and pay a high price for its crimes against humanity.
