Russia's Nazi Narrative Challenged by U.K.

The UK Ministry of Defense has said that the Kremlin is struggling to maintain its rhetoric comparing its invasion of Ukraine with the Soviet fight against the Nazis during World War Two. The cancelation of this year's Immortal Regiment Great Patriotic War remembrance marches due to "safety" issues is seen as an attempt to avoid highlighting the scope of recent Russian losses. The decision to nix Immortal Regiment marches follows the cancelation of Victory Day events in several regions. The British MOD noted that the Russian state is struggling to maintain consistency in a core narrative that it uses to justify the war in Ukraine.
