Countries unsympathetic with Russia note Nazism heroization in Ukraine — Putin

MOSCOW, August 23. /TASS/. Even those countries that do not sympathize with Russia are paying attention to the glorification of Nazism in Ukraine and Poland is one of them, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday.

"As strange as it may be, but even under today’s extremely difficult situation we consider it important that other countries besides us pay attention to such circumstances, even those that are far from being sympathetic towards Russia," Putin told Russia’s Vesti journalist Pavel Zarubin.

"Despite the well-known Russophobia in Polish politics, the Polish authorities are paying serious attention to the fundamental foundations of today's Ukrainian statehood. I mean, first of all, the ideology of neo-Nazism," the president noted.
