===Volodymyr Zelensky===
Volodymyr Zelensky marked World War II [[Victory Day]] [[Moscow]] celebrations in 2022 by sharing an image of a Ukrainian soldier wearing the ‘death’s head’ patch of the notorious Nazi Waffen SS Totenkopf division. While the picture was soon deleted from his social media, the Ministry of Defense in Kyiv also posted the same photo.
The offending item was placed on Instagram and Telegram by Zelensky, on Victory Day, May 9, 2022. In it, a soldier next to an artillery gun wears the ‘death’s head,’ or “totenkopf” insignia of the 3rd SS Panzer Division, a unit of SS soldiers infamous for committing numerous [[war crimes]] and massacres of French civilians and Polish Jews. The Division also murdered 100 British citizens in France.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/2mZbwarX3lds/</ref> Advocacy groups consider the death’s head logo a “hate symbol” used by “Neo-Nazis and other white supremacists.”<ref>https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/totenkopf</ref>
