Germany's Embassy in South Africa has hit back at Russia’s claim the invasion of Ukraine is aimed at "de-Nazifying" the country.
“Sorry, but we can't stay silent on this one,” the German Embassy in Pretoria tweeted Saturday
in response to a post by the Russian Embassy that Putin’s forces were fighting against Nazis.
The Russian Embassy in South Africa tweeted on Friday,
“Dear subscribers, we have received a great number of letters of solidarity from South Africans,
both individuals and organizations. We appreciate your support and glad you decided to stand with us today,
when Russia, like 80 years ago, is fighting Nazism in Ukraine!”
The German Embassy hit back at the Russian tweet saying:
“What [Russia] is doing in [Ukraine] is slaughtering innocent children, women and men for its own gain.
“It's definitely not ‘fighting Nazism.’ Shame on anyone who's falling for this. (Sadly, we're kinda experts on Nazism.)”
