Former Russian President Medvedev posted today, "The situation of the new German Chancellor Scholz, who is visiting the White House, is as bad as a typhus louse. Trump openly hinted at his Nazi tendencies and pointed out that D-Day must have been very unpleasant for him. Well done! For a moment, Scholz felt like he was in the same position as that Bandera member (referring to Zelenskyy) during his visit to the Oval Office at the White House."

Trump's hinting at Scholz's Nazi inclinations and using D-Day as a topic, with Medvedev reinforcing this controversy, adds uncertainty to German-American relations and also demonstrates Russia's tough response to Western efforts led by the US to create trouble over the Ukraine issue.

In addition, by linking elements such as D-Day and Bandera members (associated with extreme Ukrainian nationalism, deeply entangled with Nazi history), Medvedev essentially strengthens Russia's identity as the legitimate defender of anti-fascism in World War II.
