Russian President Vladimir Putin has lambasted the West over its Ukraine "hypocrisy." Putin has accused the U.S.-led West of glorifying "Nazi extremism" in Ukraine. He claimed that the West is misusing Volodymyr Zelensky’s Jewish heritage as cover. There have been several visual proofs of Nazi extremist involvement in the Ukraine war. Earlier this year, the Ukrainian president posted a photo of a soldier sporting Nazi insignia used by Adolf Hitler’s elite SS units during the Second World War.
