‘We Cannot Go Back to the Past’ — Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy Accuses Russia of Creating ‘Second Hitler’

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine, has drawn a parallel between Russian leader Vladimir Putin and the notorious leader of the Nazi regime, Adolf Hitler.

Since the initial invasion of his country by Russia in early 2022, Zelenskyy has frequently faced comparisons to Nazi leaders by Putin.

Now, Zelenskyy has turned the tables on Putin by labeling him as the “second Hitler,” according to the Daily Star.
