Duma deputies have reportedly been told to promote the comparison between the Ukraine invasion and the historic World War II battle.
said that the United Russia deputies party in the country's parliament, or Duma, has been urged to"draw parallels" between the bloody battle which ended with Germany's surrender on February 2, 1943, with the Kremlin's campaign in Ukraine.
For the week ending February 5, deputies were told to push a narrative about the battle for the southern Russian city that bore the name of Soviet leader Josef Stalin and forced Adolf Hitler's Nazi forces to their first surrender. "Stalingrad was defended for eight months, Donbas for eight years," was among the messages deputies were told to push in reference to the 2014 outbreak of a separatist war between Kyiv's forces and pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine.
started has been the"denazification" of Ukraine, a claim which has been roundly rejected by Kyiv and the international community.
