"(He is) a former Jewish television comedian. Putin talks about the Nazis in Ukraine, and it’s so ironic that the president of Ukraine is Jewish and his family suffered in the Holocaust," he said. "But he’s become a real hero. He’s standing up and providing resistance to a strong neighbor. So he’s become a real international hero."
