Poland’s Duda says Russian soldiers just like Nazi SS troops

Poland’s president is comparing the conduct of Russian forces in Ukraine to that of Adolf Hitler’s infamous SS troops during World War II.

“Today, the Russian army is behaving in exactly the same way… as the German SS,” President Andrzej Duda says during a visit to Bulgaria.

Duda, whose country suffered a brutal Nazi occupation during World War II, notes that Russia had already violated international law when it attacked Georgia in 2008 and first invaded Ukraine in 2014.

He says he hopes that those responsible for attacks on civilians in Ukraine would be brought before international courts.
