Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s emotions overflowed after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler have Jewish origins. He said Lavrov had learned nothing from World War II.
Zelensky said he was speechless when he heard Lavrov’s words. He said no one would accept Lavrov’s accusations.
“I have no words. Nobody heard any denial or justification from Moscow. All we got from there was silence, this means that the Russian leadership has forgotten all the lessons of the second World War,” Zelensky said. ReutersWednesday (4/5/2022).
“Or maybe they never learned that lesson.”

Lavrov made the controversial statement on Italian television last Sunday when he was asked why Russia said it needed to ‘denazify’ Ukraine, when President Zelensky is a Jew.

“For a long time we have heard wise Jews say that the greatest anti-Semites are the Jews themselves,” he added.
