Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that he felt angry about the accusations of Ukraine of Nazism, which, at the same time, look like an anecdote.
"When I hear this from Russia, there are two feelings: the first is anger because of this injustice. Then comes the second feeling, a fairer one. It makes me laugh what they say. It looks like an anecdote, like a caricature," he said in an interview with CNN that was made public Friday.
"In a state like Ukraine, with such a multi-ethnicity, with people who speak different languages, many of whom know Russian better than many Russians. When one person can have Ukrainian, Jewish blood, Belarusian, Greek, Russian roots. To these people who were occupied during World War II completely. Our ancestors are not there, they were shot because they have Jewish ancestry, their blood is not like that," he said.
"I thought that was gone, but now it's coming back. These statements are sick people. You can't laugh at a disease, a disease can be cured. But what I hear from them is a disease that cannot be cured. They wanted to be sick themselves," said Zelensky.
