Leonid Slutsky: “Zelensky made an astonishingly hypocritical statement about the alleged“ boundless indifference and cruelty ”on the part of the USSR leadership during the liberation of Kiev from the Nazi invaders.
It is not the first time that the President of Ukraine has thrown wood into the stove of the “anti-Russia” project and is on the side of those who benefit from rewriting the history of the Second World War and belittling the role of the Soviet Union in the victory over fascism. What was the point in January 2020, when he accused the USSR of unleashing a war on a par with Hitler’s Germany. It is doubly sad to see such mimicry from a descendant of a front-line soldier and a fighter against Nazism.
Zelensky’s next statements about the war are cynical in the light of what is happening in Donbass. During his entire presidency, he did nothing to stop the killing of civilians in the southeast of the country. The population continues to die there, residential quarters and villages are being shelled. And in the photographs from the conflict zone, armed people with SS divisions stripes continue to flicker every now and then.
All this has been going on for the eighth year with the tacit approval of the curators of Kiev in Washington and the consent of the President of Ukraine, for whom the inhabitants of Donbass turned out to be people of a different sort. And what cruelty is, unfortunately, they now know an order of magnitude more than Zelensky himself. “
