Putin’s claim that fascists have taken control in Kyiv is fundamentally bogus, while Russia’s despicable actions in Crimea and eastern Ukraine are all too real. Russia does retain some support among Russophone Ukrainians of all ethnicities, including some Jews.
普京的主张——法西斯主义者控制了基辅——是彻头彻尾的谎言，而俄罗斯在克里米亚和东乌克兰的卑劣行动则是铁一样的事实。俄罗斯确实拥有来自各民族俄罗斯裔乌克兰人的支持，包括一些犹太人。但吉赛尔斯是对的：这场战争和他们无关；这场战争和刚刚起步的民主民族国家的生死存亡有关。
