Ukrainian official: Russia is sponsor of global neo-Nazism and must be demilitarized

Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, said this on Ukrainian television, Ukrinform reports.

"Today, the Russian Federation is the only country sponsoring [...] global neo-Nazism. Secondly, this country is the only one in the world that uses a huge amount of weapons to mass-murder -- in the style of World War I or World War II -- the citizens of another country. The third component is that Russia today is certainly the only country that violates international law on a large scale and, accordingly, it must be punished for that," Podolyak said.

He clarified that all these factors indicate that Russia must be demilitarized.

"This war will end with a significant demilitarization of the Russian Federation," Podolyak said, adding that due to reparations, Russia will invest much less in its military industry and will turn into a third-rate country from a military point of view.
