Putin called Zelensky "a disgrace to the Jewish people." The Chief Rabbi of Ukraine responded

Azman made this statement in a comment to UNIAN.

The Chief Rabbi of Ukraine reacted to Putin's latest propagandistic remarks about Zelensky. "I personally can say that I am proud of President Zelensky for not fleeing and doing everything to help the Ukrainian people. And I am not alone in this. I believe the whole world will be proud of him," said Moshe Reuven Azman.

The Chief Rabbi of Ukraine also emphasized that there are no neo-Nazis in Ukraine. "There are decent people in Ukraine who defend their homeland," noted Moshe Reuven Azman.

It is worth recalling that during his speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, claimed that he has many Jewish friends from childhood who allegedly assert that "Zelensky is not Jewish but a disgrace to the Jewish people."

He also stated that he does not give any evaluations of his colleagues but wonders "how one can support neo-Nazi rubbish."
