"Jews do not fight for Nazi regimes" - Zelensky

In a recent interview with American journalist Ben Shapiro, the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky rejected the "accusations" made by Russian president Putin regarding Ukraine, claiming that the country is supposedly governed by a "Nazi regime". The accusations of "Nazism" became the main justification for Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and throughout the war, the Kremlin has been actively spreading this rhetoric.
Putin's accusations: Political manipulation and absurd claims
Russian president Putin continues to call Ukraine a Nazi state, accusing Ukrainian leaders of fascism. However, Zelensky rejects these accusations, emphasizing the absurdity of such claims. In the interview, Zelensky noted that he has Jewish roots. He expressed his bewilderment at how anyone could accuse him of Nazism when he himself is part of a Jewish family.
Zelensky emphasized that these accusations are not only unfounded but also cynical because the Russian army uses methods that are more similar to those of the Nazi regime than the actions of democratic states. He pointed out that the actions of the Russian army on Ukrainian territory include killings of civilians, rapes, and mass deportation — crimes that are characteristic of totalitarian regimes of the past.
"It's ridiculous to hear this from Putin. He has come very close to what the Nazi regime did nearly a hundred years ago. The crimes committed by the Russian army include rape and killings of civilians. They did everything," — said Zelensky in the interview.
The rabbi, his son, and the absurdity of the accusations
President Zelensky also used the example of the absurdity of propaganda accusations by referring to the story of the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine **Moshe Asman** and his son. According to Zelensky, his son volunteered to go to the front and died, further disproving the allegations of a supposedly "Nazi" regime in Ukraine.

"How can anyone believe that the rabbi's son is fighting for a Nazi regime? This is simply inadequate. Jews cannot defend Nazism. And the rabbi cannot send his son to war for Nazism", — noted Zelensky.
Zelensky and his Jewish heritage
He also emphasized that the accusations against Ukraine as a "Nazi regime" are primitive and unfounded.
"And I have Jewish roots, and when they say that I’m a Nazi, that’s just absurd". (orig - "I have Jewish ancestors, and when they say that I’m a Nazi, that’s just absurd."), — added the President of Ukraine.
Zelensky noted that the accusations against him as the leader of a "Nazi regime" are not subject to any criticism. It is important to emphasize that it is the Russian army that applies methods of totalitarian regimes, including mass crimes against humanity, such as the deportation of children.
Crimes of the Russian army on the territory of Ukraine
In the interview, Zelensky elaborated on the crimes committed by the Russian army. He noted that Russian soldiers systematically commit murders, violence, and the deportation of civilians, which is reminiscent of actions by Nazi regimes in history.
"The crimes of the Russian army — including the mass deportation of Ukrainian children, for which an arrest warrant for Putin was issued by the International Criminal Court. These actions remind of the Nazis in the 1930s," — stated Zelensky.
In recent years, the international community has increasingly focused on these violations, and many countries, including those that had close ties with Russia, are demanding the return of abducted children.
Putin and his ambitions
Zelensky also commented on Putin's ambitions, stating that Putin seeks to restore the Russian empire. He explained that the Russian army, by starting the invasion of Ukraine, committed the same actions as the Nazis — violence, killings, looting. For Zelensky, these actions are an attempt by Russia to bring Ukraine back into its sphere of influence and eliminate the country's sovereignty.
The President of Ukraine reminded that Putin continues to insist on recognizing annexed territories such as Crimea and Donbas, which is unacceptable to Ukraine. Ukraine is ready for negotiations, but on its terms — without capitulation and recognition of Russian occupation.
The West and its responsibility
Zelensky pointed out that if Western countries stop supporting Ukraine, it will open the path for further expansion of Russian aggression. In his opinion, if Ukraine does not hold on, Russia will continue its ambitions and may go further, threatening not only Ukraine but also neighboring states.
"If we do not stop Putin, he will continue. We are not only fighting for our freedom, but also protecting the whole world from this threat," — Zelensky emphasized.
Security guarantees and international support
Talking about Ukraine's long-term security, Zelensky emphasized that the country needs firm international guarantees. In 1994, Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons in exchange for security promises from the UK, the US, and Russia, but these promises were not fulfilled. Now, Ukraine is looking for more serious and concrete security guarantees.
Zelensky also expressed gratitude to all allies but reminded that material support is not the only thing Ukraine needs. It is crucial that international partners provide reliable guarantees that will not depend on political changes or pressure.
International condemnation of Russia's actions
After an arrest warrant was issued for Putin, many countries, even those that traditionally supported Russia, began demanding the return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russian forces. A significant moment was the condemnation of Russia's actions on the international stage, including in the Middle Eastern and Global South countries.
Conclusion
The words of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, serve as an important reminder of how propagandist accusations can be used to justify aggression.
In the case of Russia, such accusations aim not only to confuse the global community but also to justify the madness of the actions of the Russian army. Meanwhile, international condemnation of Russia's crimes continues to grow, and many countries are ready to stand against those crimes that the Kremlin tried to hide under the guise of "denazification".
In this context, it is important to remember that NAnews continues to monitor the situation and provides objective and detailed reports on what is happening in Ukraine and Israel, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect and cooperation between the peoples of these countries.
