Putin Slams Godless Ethnic Jews Tearing Orthodox Church Apart In Ukraine

During annual marathon press conference on Dec. 19, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused "godless ethnic Jews" of tearing apart the Orthodox Church in Ukraine. “They're ethnic Jews, but has anyone seen them in a synagogue? I don't think so. They're not orthodox as well because they are never present at a church. These are people without kin or memory, with no roots. They won't go to church. They will go to the beach.”
