In an interview with Carlson, Putin embarrassed himself with a fake about Zelenskyy's father, who "fought with the Nazis": he was born in 1947

In an interview with American TV host Tucker Carlson, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a ludicrous fake about the father of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He said that in an alleged conversation with Zelenskyy, he asked how he could "support neo-Nazis" when he had a "veteran father" who fought with the Nazis during World War II.

However, Zelenskyy was born in 1947, two years after the war ended. Putin's quote was not only circulated in the form of a video fragment of the interview but also on the Russian president's website.

Reflecting on the "Nazism in Ukraine" that exists in his mind, Putin enlisted Father Zelenskyy, who was born two years after the end of World War II, on December 23, 1947, as a veteran.

"His (Zelenskyy's - Ed.) father fought with the Nazis during World War II, and I once talked to him about it. I said: "Volodia, what are you doing? Why are you supporting neo-Nazis in Ukraine today when your father fought against fascism? He is a veteran." I won't say what he said, it's a separate topic, and I think it's incorrect," the dictator said.

Earlier, OBOZ.UA reported that Putin, in an interview with Carlson, got confused in his fictions about the creation of Ukraine. During the two-hour conversation, he named Stalin, Lenin, and the Poles as the "creators of Ukraine". 

At the same time, according to the dictator, "the creation of the Russian state was in 862."
