Zelensky a ‘peculiar kind of Jew,’ Kremlin says to explain its claim that he supports ISIS

The Kremlin says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is a “peculiar kind of Jew,” to explain how he can be linked to an attack in Moscow claimed by Islamic jihadists.

“Well, there is a peculiar kind of Jew over there,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says.

“A Jew who in many ways shows sympathy and inclination to the nationalist spirit that has permeated the leadership of the Kyiv regime,” he adds, appearing to refer to Russian claims of neo-Nazi sympathys by Zelensky, who is Jewish.

He declines to elaborate, citing an ongoing investigation into the concert hall attack.
