Russian President Vladimir Putin made a public appearance at a Russian economic forum and said that the Jew Zelensky was a disgrace to the Jewish people.
#Putin: "I have many Jewish friends since childhood, they say Zelensky is not a Jew but a shame for the Jewish people."

I disagree with Putin. Zelensky is just Jewish and is doing Jewish things. Jews around the world view him as a great Jew.
Look at the Jew Jonathan Greenblatt’s response to Putin’s comments. He said that Zelensky is a source of pride for millions of Jews around the world.
We strongly condemn Russian President Putin for his hateful comments demeaning Ukrainian President Zelensky’s Jewish identity. Despite Putin’s bizarre claim, President Zelensky’s Judaism is a source of pride for millions of Jews & others around the world. https://t.co/zT9g13ftuL

Zelensky was also called one of the “brightest stars” by the Jerusalem Post and Israeli newspaper.
Today, #Putin attacked President #Zelensky's Jewish heritage, claiming that he had "many Jewish friends" who viewed Zelensky as a "disgrace".
Meanwhile, the Israeli newspaper #TheJerusalemPost came out with this cover: "50 most influential Jews. Our brightest stars." pic.twitter.com/xQNJ3Ntlbf

These statements coming from Putin and Lavrov about Jews are just wrong.
They’ve also portrayed the Ukraine as a government propping up Nazis without mentioning the key point that it is the Jews and Zelensky who have backed all these insane Satanic Neo-Nazi people. It’s like they’re trying to invoke the memory of World War II in order to ensure domestic support for their war. They are doing this even though Adolf Hitler would have opposed the very same people that are currently running the Ukraine and waging war against Russia.
The German NSDAP of the 1930s and 1940s is very different from these Neo-Nazi people of present day. Modern Neo-Nazism is actually very Jewish in nature.
