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.

Hitler also had a Jewish heritage!

Zelinski lied about the intent of the MINSK Accords in order to smear Russia, but Russia was merely a guarantator like France and England of the peace for Donbas - Zelinski kept to shelling the city of people.

Zelinski lied about Ukraine having nukes.

Zelinski lied about not being the USA’s puppet in Ukraine....

Zelinski lied about many things in this interview - a three hour affair with an IT oriented non-political media person - and this guy was no Tucker Carlson and never once asked Zelinski a hard question.

Zelinski’s entire interview was an attempt to pursuade President Trump that there is more to Ukraine than meets the eye. Zelinski wants Trump to save him from Russia, but Zelinski himself is the impedement to Peace - as long as the AZOV NAZI Faggot Jew and his nazi cronies are in power in Ukraine there can be no peace; Zelinski is going to be Hitler in the bunker 2.0 and Kiev is going to be Berlin.
