Anatoly Vyborny briefed CSTO PA experts on goals of the military operation in Ukraine

“Today, at the meeting of the CSTO PA Expert Advisory Board, we reviewed a number of draft model acts under consideration. One of them is criminalization of acts related to attempts of rehabilitation of Nazism, humiliating the honour and dignity of veterans of the Great Patriotic War, distortion of historical truth, belittling the mission of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War and the USSR’s humanitarian mission.
Today, in the course of the discussion, we touched on the events taking place in Ukraine, and experts from different CSTO Member States unanimously supported Russia’s position, which is related to the denationalization in this country and effectively to the elimination of the Nazism that we are witnessing in Ukraine today. There was unanimous support for the operation that Russia is carrying out by the decision of Russian President,” said Anatoly Vyborny, Chairman of the CSTO of the Expert Advisory Board under the Council of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly, deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Committee on Security and Corruption Control.
“Denazification and demilitarization are the tasks set by the President of Russia to the Russian Armed Forces in support of the LPR and DPR which today, not sparing their lives, defend their people living in these territories,” stressed Anatoly Vyborny.
In his speech, he stressed that there was no question of solving any other tasks except “minimizing the evil that is seen to be spread by Bandera followers, Nazi special battalions and those armed forces that support the ideology of Bandera and Nazism in Ukraine.”
Anatoly Vyborny stressed that the members of the Expert Advisory Board under the CSTO PA Council unanimously supported the need to address the tasks that had been set by the President of the Russian Federation during the special operation in Ukraine.
“Supporting the objectives announced by the Russian President Vladimir Putin, the experts also pointed out the relevance of this issue by the fact that such a military operation, by and large, guarantees the prevention of the spread of neo-Nazism in the former Soviet Union, including the CSTO States,” noted Anatoly Vyborny.
The Chairman of the CSTO PA Expert Advisory Board stressed that the experts unanimously supported the proposal to accelerate the preparation of a model act to criminalize actions related to attempts to rehabilitate Nazism, distort the historical truth, humiliate the honour and dignity of military veterans, equate the USSR’s role to Germany’s in the Second World War and belittle the humanitarian mission of the USSR in the liberation of Europe.
