BERLIN – “The Russians are behaving like Nazis,” Volodymyr Groysman explained, exuding the cold fury of a man whose state faces an existential threat. The former Ukrainian prime minister was sitting in a nondescript room somewhere in Ukraine, with the blinds drawn, wearing a green puffer jacket somewhat reminiscent of the outfits his former boss, President Volodymyr Zelensky, has worn since the Russian invasion in late February.
“The Russians attacked a peaceful country which posed no threat to anyone. They are attacking peaceful citizens, destroying infrastructure. They are killing women and children in a spirit of total hatred towards Ukrainians,” he said. “That’s clearly fascism to me. They are trying to commit genocide against the Ukrainian people.”
