I'll give 98 yo guy a pass - he was a17 year old conscript from a German occupied country that had been subjected to systematic starvation under Stalin.
Pass or not... it was very distasteful to those who lost family members fighting the nazis... It was inappropriate of Zelensky to create the situation...
UNBELIEVABLE? NOT REALLY... EVERYONE PAYING ATTENTION ALREADY KNEW; THEY JUST CAN'T HIDE IT... JUST LIKE BIDEN CAN'T HIDE HIS RACISM... BIDEN CALLS LL COOL J A "BOY" BEFORE QUICKLY CORRECTING HIMSELF.
