Volodymyr Zelensky is a world-class leader in the history of Ukraine and the history of the Free World, Ukrainians can be proud of their choice of a Jewish president who unites and rallies the Ukrainian people in their difficult struggle against barbaric aggression. This is stated in a statement by Israeli politician Nathan Sharansky, published on the Embassy's Facebook page.
Sharansky recalled that Putin justified his aggression from the very beginning, claiming that Ukrainians are not a nation, and their leadership is a Nazi regime.
"Of course, all these absurd statements were intended for internal use and had nothing to do with reality. However, today, three years after the start of this bloody war, the Russian leadership continues to "fight Nazism," he noted.
"And we, as Jews, can be proud that a representative of our people plays such a unique historical role in mobilizing not only the Ukrainian people, but also the entire Free World to protect our common future," the politician concluded.
