The interview was published on Carlson's website.

“You say: Hitler has been dead for 80 years. But his work lives on. The people who destroyed Jews, Russians and Poles are alive. And the president, the current president of today’s Ukraine, applauds him in the Canadian parliament, gives him a standing ovation,” the Russian leader explained.

He recalled how, during Zelensky’s visit, an SS man was introduced to the Canadian Parliament. Putin noted that this incident is well known, but they are trying to hush it up in the West.

The Russian president recalled that Zelensky, a Jew by nationality, along with the entire Canadian parliament applauded the Nazis.

“How can you imagine this?” - Putin was surprised.

Earlier, the Russian Embassy in Ottawa stated that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was behind the invitation of Nazi Yaroslav Gunka to the Canadian parliament last September.

During a plenary meeting of the Valdai Club, Vladimir Putin said that the speaker of the Canadian parliament could not help but understand who he was applauding, so he was either a scoundrel or an idiot.
