UN Chief Acknowledges Threat Posed by Neo-Nazism
08:48 20.06.2023 (Updated: 08:49 20.06.2023) UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Monday that Neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups are creating security issues within some countries.
“Neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements are fast becoming the primary internal security threats in a number of countries,” Guterres told UN members.
We must stay united against such global threats, he added.
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is
covering up for neo-Nazis with his actions.
"Today they are using neo-Nazis in Ukraine. They have forgotten that they are neo-Nazis. Nobody remembers, nobody says a word, nobody says anything. They put a well-known person in charge of the whole neo-Nazi cabal, and they go on. Nobody hears anything. You and I have just seen this video that I asked you to show, where the Bandera activists go out under a Nazi flag and kill people. Do you think anyone will play it for them? No. It will be an information blockade, because this mechanism is used in the fight against us," Putin said at a plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
Earlier in June, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric argued that the United Nations (UN) stands against Nazis as a matter of principle in light of photographs showing Ukrainian soldiers wearing Nazi symbols.
The statement came as earlier, the New York Times highlighted what Western media has sought to downplay for the past year: the existence of neo-Nazis in the Ukrainian military and the proliferation of Nazi symbolism, including the Totenkopf "Death's Head" emblem used by the SS and the Sonnenrad "Black Sun," which was also heavily used by the Nazis and subsequent groups sympathetic to their ideology.
