In his video message, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that all they have received is silence, which proves that the Russian leadership has forgotten the lessons of World War II.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on Monday, stated that the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's suggestion that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler had Jewish origins indicates that Russia has forgotten or never learned the lessons of World War II.

In his video message, Zelenskyy stated, "I don't have words." Adding that, nobody has heard any justification or denial from Russia. All they have received is silence, which proves that the Russian leadership has forgotten the lessons of World War II. Zelenskyy added, "perhaps they never learned about those lessons."
