Japan: dear Ukraine, you cannot compare Hitler and Mussolini to Hirohito. A curious rebuke that comes from the East
There was a fair historical gaffe of the Zelensky government that went unnoticed in Italy. While everyone gave a lot of space to the slight tensions over the equalization between Jewish persecution and invasion of Ukraine made in the Knesset speech, none took the Japanese protests for a sudden comparison between Hitler, Mussolini and Hiro Hito made by the official Twitter account. of the Ukrainian government
