Russia forgotten lessons of WW 2, says Zelenskiy

Israel lambasted Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday for claiming Adolf Hitler had Jewish origins, saying it was an unforgivable falsehood that debased the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust. Leaders from several Western nations denounced the foreign minister’s comments and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused Russia of having forgotten the lessons of World War Two.

In a sign of sharply deteriorating relations with Moscow, the Israeli foreign ministry summoned the Russian ambassador and demanded an apology. Such lies are intended to accuse the Jews themselves of the most horrific crimes in history that were committed against them, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said in a statement. The use of the Holocaust of the Jewish people for political purposes must stop immediately, he added.
