OPINION: A new level of deplorable.
Putin said: “I’ve had a lot of Jewish friends since childhood. They say, ‘Zelensky is not a Jew, he’s a disgrace to the Jewish people.’ And this isn’t a joke, it’s not irony, you understand?...
Putin added that he expected such a question and had asked his assistant to prepare some materials. After reading exterminationist antisemitic comments from two World War II-era Ukrainian nationalist figures and telling an emotional story about the murder of a Jewish family, Putin suggested that the current government in Kyiv endorsed Holocaust denial and reiterated that Zelensky was using his Jewish background to “give cover to these neo-Nazi freaks.
The extent to which these nationalist forces were complicit in the Holocaust is hotly disputed. Putin’s claim that massacres of Jews in Ukraine were carried out primarily by “Banderovites” is false; but most historians agree, according to Israeli journalist, that the OUN/UPA “were responsible for the deaths of thousands of Jews” during the war.
