The Yad Vashem memorial, the most important Holocaust remembrance center in the world, initially condemned the amalgamation made by Russian President Vladimir Putin between certain Ukrainian groups and the Nazis.

Kremlin spokesman Dmirty Preskov then invited the institution to come to the Donbass to see the mass graves.

The Ukrainian ambassador in Tel Aviv deplored the Russian “lies” and said that the Kremlin lives decidedly in another world. For his part, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recalled that he is Jewish and therefore cannot be a Nazi.

To date, the Yad Vashem Memorial has not responded to the Kremlin’s invitation.

European Jewish institutions have pointed out that several years ago they expelled Ukrainian billionaire Ihor Kolomoisky from their ranks because of his ties to the underworld and to neo-Nazis. Mr. Kolomoisky served as the agent of Jewish Volodymyr Zelensky in his days as an entertainer.
