This is completely unacceptable! The Russian Embassy in Canada is tweeting that Russia is liberating Ukrainians from Nazism! Canada needs to stop this immediately! Why isn't Oleg Stepanov sent back to Russia??

What is wrong with you PM Justin Trudeau?

The Russian Embassy In Canada Put Out A Statement On Ukraine & Twitter Is Just Incredulous.
The statement compares the Western response to the invasion to Nazi propaganda.
 
Russia continues to ramp up the rhetoric surrounding its invasion of Ukraine, this time through a statement published by the Russian Embassy in Canada.

The statement posted to Twitter on March 1 takes aim at the Western response, likening it to Nazism and accusing the West of "monstrous and inhuman provocations."

"We are witnessing an unprecedented wave of lives, fake news, distorted and fabricated facts aimed at discrediting our actions," the statement reads.

"Goebbels-style Western propaganda was predictable. It cannot be trusted. The public in Canada should understand that."

The embassy also denied that Russian forces were targeting civilian areas in Ukraine.

"Russia is not starting wars. Russia is ending them," the statement concludes.

The U.S. has repeatedly warned that Russia would use lies to justify its invasion of Ukraine and counter the Western response.

Utter incompetence from our friends at the Russian Embassy," Montreal MP Anthony Housefather wrote. "They do not understand that lies and propaganda don’t work in a country that actually has a free press."

Ottawa City Councillor Scott Moffatt called the statement "the biggest load of shit" he has "ever read on this platform."

Shameful!" Jean-Marc Leger of the Leger polling firm said. "Russia invaded Ukraine, bombed and killed civilians and wants to overthrow a democratically elected government."
