Another person wrote: “Have they not seen the media coverage of America lately? Proud Boys, Oath keepers, rubbing shoulders with Republicans, KKK, Jan6. No one believes that America is the country of Nazis, we do know a small % of people are. This page has gone full kiss & lick the boots of Putin.”

The controversy comes after Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly rented out his Italian villa in Forte dei Marmi to a Russian woman.
According to the Italian news outlet, Il Tirreno, it is said to be in possession of documents proving that the 54-year-old woman that stayed at Zelensky’s villa was of Russian descent.
In fact, according to the paper, the documents confirm that the woman who stayed in his luxury villa in the VIP town of Versilia was born in the former Soviet Union.
