Exactly.

The Ukrainians collaborated with the Nazis in what is called the Bullet Holocaust of 1.5 million Jews.

Just Google “Babi Yar.”

Entire Jewish towns were wiped out. Men women, and children were marched to ravines where they were forced to strip and line up and then massacred, the bodies piled up dozens deep in the pits.

I wish people would educate themselves before hailing the criminal Zelensky and his murderous cohorts.

............I admit that I’m not familiar with what the Ukrainians did in WW II but I’m reminded of that old saying that ....”the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.

I also remember living in Tokyo 24 years after we NUKED em into oblivion. Now, the Japs are probably our best ally.

“Babi Yar” by Yevgeny Aleksándrovich Yevtushenko – Translated by Benjamin Okopnik, October, 1996

No monument stands over Babi Yar. / A steep cliff only, like the rudest headstone. / I am afraid. / Today, I am as old / As the entire Jewish race itself.

I see myself an ancient Israelite. / I wander o’er the roads of ancient Egypt / And here, upon the cross, I perish, tortured / And even now, I bear the marks of nails.

It seems to me that Dreyfus is myself. / The Philistines betrayed me – and now judge. / I’m in a cage. Surrounded and trapped, / I’m persecuted, spat on, slandered, and / The dainty dollies in their Brussels frills / Squeal, as they stab umbrellas at my face.

I see myself a boy in Bialystok / Blood spills, and runs upon the floors, / The chiefs of bar and pub rage unimpeded / And reek of vodka and of onion, half and half.

I’m thrown back by a boot, I have no strength left, / In vain I beg the rabble of pogrom, / To jeers of “Kill the Jews, and save our Russia!” / My mother’s being beaten by a clerk.

O, Russia of my heart, I know that you / Are international, by inner nature. / But often those whose hands are steeped in filth / Abused your purest name, in name of hatred.

I know the kindness of my native land. / How vile, that without the slightest quiver / The antisemites have proclaimed themselves / The “Union of the Russian People!”

It seems to me that I am Anna Frank, / Transparent, as the thinnest branch in April, / And I’m in love, and have no need of phrases, / But only that we gaze into each other’s eyes. / How little one can see, or even sense! / Leaves are forbidden, so is sky, / In darkened rooms each other to embrace.

“They come!”

“No, fear not – those are sounds / Of spring itself. She’s coming soon. / Quickly, your lips!”

“They break the door!”

“No, river ice is breaking…”

Wild grasses rustle over Babi Yar, / The trees look sternly, as if passing judgement. / Here, silently, all screams, and, hat in hand, / I feel my hair changing shade to gray.

And I myself, like one long soundless scream / Above the thousands of thousands interred, / I’m every old man executed here, / As I am every child murdered here.

No fiber of my body will forget this. / May “Internationale” thunder and ring / When, for all time, is buried and forgotten / The last of antisemites on this earth.

There is no Jewish blood that’s blood of mine, / But, hated with a passion that’s corrosive / Am I by antisemites like a Jew. / And that is why I call myself a Russian!

What a strange thing to say. Zelensky is Jewish, and "his great-grandfather and three of his grandfather’s brothers died as a result of the Nazi invasion of Ukrainian territory. His grandfather and his grandfather’s brothers took up arms against the Nazis in the Red Army; his grandfather was the only one to survive"

Source

How does being a descendant of the sole survivor of the genocide against his family by the Nazis, and a man who fought against the Nazis make Zelensky "a criminal with murderous cohorts" based on the Holocaust in the Ukraine?

What you wrote is an ugly anti-Semitic slur, or you are just clueless.
