Lavrov Compares Ukraine’s Zelensky To Hitler. There is no such thing as Jewish blood
'So what if Zelensky is Jewish. The fact does not negate the Nazi elements in Ukraine'
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Sunday said the fact that Ukraine’s leader is Jewish does not negate Moscow’s claimed purpose to “denazify” the country.
In an interview with Italian news channel Zona Bianca, Lavrov was asked about his country’s “denazification” claim when Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is Jewish.
“So what if Zelensky is Jewish. The fact does not negatethe Nazi elements in Ukraine. I believe that Hitler also had Jewish blood,” Lavrov said, adding that “some of the worst antisemites are Jews.”
In response to Lavrov’s claims, Israel’s Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel told Army Radio they are “delusions that are meant to justify the Russians’ horrific acts in Ukraine.”
