Opinion: Zelensky's Ukraine is real. Putin's doesn't exist

"If things had turned out the way my mother wanted, I would have been a violinist," Volodymyr Zelensky said in a standup routine on his late-night variety show, "Kvartal-95." "That's right, as a good Jewish boy, I played the violin as a kid." That Zelensky is a good Jewish boy presents a problem for Vladimir Putin, who has repeatedly accused Ukraine of fascism and even anti-Semitism.
