In an interview with podcaster Lex Fridman published on Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke of his family who perished in the Holocaust and his grandfather, Semyon Ivanovich Zelensky, the sole survivor in his family, who fought in the Red Army against the Nazis in World War II.
“My grandfather, he graduated from the military academy, and from the very beginning of the war, he went to fight. He was in the infantry and he fought through the entire war. He had many wounds, as they used to say back then, ‘His chest is covered in medals,’ and it’s true,” Zelensky told Fridman during their discussion, which also covered the Russia-Ukraine war, President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration and prospects for peace between Russia and Ukraine.
“He didn’t like to tell details about the war. He never boasted, although I asked him as a boy would, ‘How many fascists did you kill?’ He never talked about it,” Zelensky continued. “He believed that the war was a great tragedy — a tragedy for everyone. And Ukraine was occupied, and it was a tragedy for Ukraine, a tragedy for Europe, and a tragedy for the Jewish people.”
“His own brothers, his entire family were executed. They were tortured by fascists who had occupied Ukraine and their village. His father was the head of the village and he was killed. They were shot. It was a mass … A mass grave, right? Yes. It was a communal burial,” Zelensky said. “Some of them were killed outright and others, they were buried alive. His four brothers, they all went to war. As soon as the war began, they were all there. He was the only one who had a military education, and they all died in the war.

I think you should bundle all 10,000 of your Ukranian posts, print them out as a Manifesto, and offer it up as a tribute to Neocon insanity. Not one of your positions has been proven to be accurate, and not one position puts America First.
Yet pro nazi military u its exists in the Ukraine to this day. Interesting.
Maybe he should come out as transgendered next
He’s got it in his resume
There’s some US woke deep-state boxes he hasn’t quite tried to check yet.
When some Westerners objected to having the US fund Zelensky’s Azov NeoNazis, Zelensky incorporated the nazis into the Ukrainian National Guard. Gotta keep that money comin’ in!
Zelensky is a liar who has betrayed Ukrainian citizens just like he betrayed his Jewish heritage.
Recalls his Jewish heritage? 🤣🤣🤣
But yet Zelensky allows the Nazi Azov Battalion to be a part of the Ukraine Army.
Out of all the ridiculous things you've posted, this might just be the most absurd.
The entire podcast - there are timing mark so you can jump to your point of interest.

If nothing else, go for the 47.07 mark where Zelensky talks about how Russia negotiates peace/ceasefire.
How while they (Zelenskyy, Merkel, Macron, Putin) had agreed on a prisoner exchange, the Russians kept killing people in the Russian speaking areas using snipers in training for their upcoming African/Syrian deployments. Russian speaking Ukrainians were hunted, where practice targets for Russian snipers.
It will be interesting to see if Fridman asks Putin the same questions he asked Zelensky.
St Z’s wife and kids are baptized Christians. He is NOT Jewish.
Didn’t he CLOSE CATHOLIC CHURCHES???
He is the BIGGEST MONEY LAUNDERER IN HISTORY!
It will be interesting to see if Fridman asks Putin the same questions he asked Zelensky.

And to see if Fridman lives ...
You missed Putin’s memo. Putin agrees with Z concerning his heritage.
No he’s a LOYAL Z fan...in fact he is giong to join the fighting any day now...what a tough guy! :)
And he MUST be paying 100s a month to freely advertise his cause on FR...I mean no one should be allowed to advocate for a NEOCON cause dozens of times a day on here, right?
Anyway, it’s all over in 2 weeks when Trump says a big “#### you” to Z.
And I say it to Z fans :)
“”””Didn’t he CLOSE CATHOLIC CHURCHES???””””
It is Russia that persecutes and restricts Catholics and Protestants, not Ukraine, Ukraine has restricted the KGB branch of the Orthodox that is supporting the invasion of Ukraine, not the Orthodox religion, but the pro-Russia branch of it.
