Copying from the original post:

Jesus Fuck. I was expecting this was fake, but it's not. Here's the AP article, it's image number 4 in the scroller thingy. Here's that dude's Wikipedia page.

It’s one thing when eastern Europe plays it fast and loose with that period of history, but I expect better from my own government.

Edit: It looks like they've already apologised.

    Zelenskyy wasn't in the videos I saw earlier today (just the Speaker, the House, and Hunka), but I've noticed the fist pumping gesture Zelenskyy is doing in that picture seems to be a mirror image of the gesture Hunka himself does during the applause (like one of the two did it first and the other is returning the gesture). :/
