He said that together with the whole world he would be proud of the president of Ukraine, who is making every effort to protect the Ukrainian people in the face of Russia's full-scale aggression.
"I can personally say that I am proud of President Zelensky, that he did not run away and is doing everything to help the Ukrainian people. And not just me. I think that the whole world is proud of him," Moshe Reuven Asman said in a comment to a UNIAN correspondent.
The Chief Rabbi of Ukraine also said that there are no neo-Nazis in Ukraine.
Recall that today, during a speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that since childhood he has had many Jewish friends who allegedly claim that "Zelensky is not a Jew, but a disgrace to the Jewish people".
He also said that he allegedly does not give any assessments to colleagues, but wonders "how one can support neo-Nazi trash".
