A "traitor", the "new incarnation of Judas in the 21st century". This is how the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova defines the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for bringing forward the celebrations for the defeat of Nazism.

Zelenski is "a fascist collaborator 80 years later" who "betrayed his fathers", she writes in a Telegram message to her followers. Moscow celebrates this day on May 9, while Kiev celebrates it on May 8.
