Vlad is trying to "de-Nazify" a country run by a Jewish president.

Calling someone a Nazi means something quite different to a Russian than to an American. They celebrate VE day as among their biggest holidays, and they don't acknowledge the Holocaust as having anything to do with Jews. Nazis are anti-Russian to Russians.

Putin has been calling the Ukrainian regime "Nazis" since 2014. It's newly stupid but it isn't new.
