Crazy Ukraine PM Tells Germans: Russia Toppling Hitler Was Aggression (Video)
Just how crazy is this guy? Told German TV Russia invading Ukraine and Germany as it did in WWII must never be allowed to happen again

by Daniele Pozzati
Fri, Jan 9

Live before millions of German viewers, in Berlin with the Reichstag in the background, Ukraine's PM Arseniy Yatsenyuk announced to universal amazement: „nobody is entitled to rewrite the outcome of WW2“.

The setting is an interview with Tagesthemen („Issues of the day“)- Germany's second most important TV news magazine.

Which outcome, we beg his pardon? But the – wait for it – the Soviet invasion of Germany of course! How is that for rewriting the outcome of WW2?

In a country where the denial of the Holocaust a criminal offense, and where Nazi insignia – so popular in Ukraine today - is illegal, Yats had just declared:

„Russian aggression in the Ukraine is a threat to world order“

„We can all very well remember the Soviet invasion of the Ukraine and Germany. This must be prevented from happening again”
