Russian military commander POW claims forces were told 'Nazis' had overtaken Ukraine
Putin learned that tactic from the American political left.
A Russian military commander and prisoner of war in Ukraine said he and his forces were led to believe they were invading the country because "nationalists, Nazis have seized power," according to a video that surfaced Monday.
Russian Lt. Col. Astakhov Dmitry Mikhailovich was flanked by two badly bruised men as he said they were told in Russia "that Ukraine's territory is dominated by fascist's regime," according to video shared by Ukraine’s News Channel 24, via a translation from the New York Post.
"Nationalists, Nazi's have seized power," the commander went on, about what he and his troops were allegedly told.
