Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president, drew a controversial comparison between Friedrich Merz, likely Germany's next chancellor, and Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels. This remark came after Merz's assertion that Russia's war affected not just Ukraine but all of Europe, framing it as a broader assault on data and utility infrastructures. Medvedev's response encapsulates Russia's ideological stance, depicting its actions as a defensive legacy of World War Two. The Kremlin continues to invoke historical references while facing domestic and international backlash against its current military operations in Ukraine.
"You're not in power yet but already lying like Goebbels," Dmitry Medvedev critiqued Friedrich Merz, drawing parallels to Nazi propaganda amid current geopolitical tensions.
Medvedev characterized Russian aggression as a defensive war against the West, which he ties to World War Two, labeling Merz's statements as historically ignorant.
