Ukrainian Roma activists are criticising the ongoing discrimination against Roma in the Ukraine and highlight that this is being used by Russian propaganda to brand Ukrainians as “Nazis”.
The picture of Roma bound to posts made it through social media, amplified by Russia, alleging this was outright discrimination. As usual, reality is more circumstantiated, as these Roma were caught stealing (see also below the article in Romea). Nevertheless, self-justice, and especially of this kind is not acceptable.
This Ukrainian article strongly condemn this act, and effectively says this plays in the hand of the Russians in their attempt to portray all Ukrainians as Nazis.
