Yad Vashem chairman Dani Dayan responded on Sunday night to the remarks of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, and said they are "absurd, delusional and dangerous and worthy of every condemnation."

Earlier, Lavrov commented on the Judaism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and said that the fact that he was a Jew "does not negate the Nazi elements in his country. I believe that Hitler also had Jewish blood."
