Sometimes, pan-European antisemitism gets expressed in the most absurd ways
"Western handlers" deliberately put a Jew in charge of Ukraine Putin
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that "Western handlers put an ethnic Jew in charge of modern Ukraine" to "cover up the anti-human nature" of Ukraine.
Source: Putin in a comment to a journalist from the Kremlin-aligned TV channel VGTRK, as cited by Meduza
Quote: "This makes the situation utterly repugnant: that an ethnic Jew is covering up the glorification of Nazism and of those who once presided over the Holocaust in Ukraine."

Sure, who is better to to cover up a country's glorification of Nazism for his Western handlers than a Jewish comedian whose relatives were annihilated during the Holocaust?
Jews glorifying Jew-haters to cover up for their Jew-hating handlers. How despicable of the Jews!
The circular logic is completely impenetrable. And widely accepted. Putin was speaking to all of Europe's antisemites, not just the Russian ones.
