Sept 5 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a television interview on Tuesday, without citing evidence, that Western powers had installed Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who is of Jewish heritage, as president of Ukraine to cover up the glorification of Nazism.
In justifying its invasion of Ukraine, which it calls a “special military operation,” Russia accuses Kyiv’s leaders of being neo-Nazis pursuing a “genocide” of Russian-speakers - an assertion that Kyiv and Western countries dismiss as a baseless pretext for a war of acquisition.
Putin was answering a question from Russian reporter Pavel Zaubin and his comments were shown on Russian state TV.

You can verify if this is the correct representation here if you want to
I’m waiting for Elon to tweet in agreement.
“Interesting.”
Big ((((nose)))) if true
Literally no one will miss Elon, not even his kids
!
Russia’s war has killed more Russian Russian-speakers than anything that Ukraine has done. Shouldn’t someone invade Russia to protect Russian-speakers from Putin’s meat grinder?
This sounds about as reasonable as Putin is trustworthy.
Insisting that a Jew only has power because “the west” gave it to him on the condition he covers up for Nazis is in itself quite anti-semetic. Nothing they won’t do for a sheckel, right Vlad?
Putin and his key allies can’t be special military operationed soon enough. How many billions of dollars have they spent trying to make the rest of the world as dogshit as their own country under their own rule?
Anti semitism is pretty much the only direction Putin has left to go
Putin really does have the most sane takes on how the world works.
