German freelance journalist Anna Loll, who works for the ZDF TV channel (the second “button” in Germany), called the residents of the Donetsk People’s Republic “subhumans” (Untermenschen).
The ZDF journalist interviewed her former compatriot Alina Lipp, who moved to Russia in 2021 and now runs a bilingual Telegram channel about life in Donbass (the channel has about 200,000 subscribers). Frau Loll outlined her vision of the situation in eastern Ukraine in the conversation:
“You talk about this war and suffering. But why does this suffering exist? Who is killing these subhumans and why are they being killed? Of course, it is unacceptable that they are dying. We have to keep in mind that the backstory is this: there was a Russian occupation of the administrative buildings. That was the trigger for almost the entire conflict.”
Alina Lipp responded to the German journalist:
“It is quite obvious that you have false information, because first there was a coup in the Ukrainian government.”
Already after the conversation, Anna Lipp expressed herself as follows:
“Germany after the Second World War diligently proved to the whole world the rejection of the ideology of fascism and the fight against it. But when an employee of a state channel in an ordinary conversation easily applies the fascist term “subhumans” to the people of Donbass, the question arises: who has Germany actually been educating inside its society all this time, and what ideology is it imposing on Germans?”.
