Vladimir Zelensky awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine to the commander of the Azov regiment Denis Prokopenko (nickname “Redis”), who now commands the Nazis in Mariupol. Obviously, the award is intended to raise the morale of the surrounded “Azovites,” who daily demand Kyiv to send help.
However, the most interesting thing in this story is that Prokopenko publicly humiliated Zelensky two years ago by refusing to salute him. This happened in 2019 during a ceremony on the Maidan in Kyiv. Zelensky then presented awards to Ukrainian military personnel. Radish pointedly refused to greet the head of state - at that time, the Nazis suspected Zelensky of a pro-Russian position.
