The Ukrainian leader has published images to his Telegram channel where one soldier can be clearly seen wearing the Nazi SS “Death’s Head” insignia.

It’s the most recent of many Nazi insignia sightings in Ukrainian ranks.

Recently Zelensky celebrated the country’s “Independence Day” by publishing a photo to Instagram which also featured a soldier proudly displaying SS memorabilia.

Man, I looked at the photo and the video at the link below and it's not "clearly" anything. Yes, the soldier is wearing something beige on the backside of his vest, but that's about what I can tell. I'm guessing it's this? Regardless, the picture is way to muddy to tell.

Mate I don't know what planet you've been living on but basically EVERYONE in the left recognises that as the Nazi SS Totenkopf from the 3rd SS panzer division. It is probably the second most recognisable nazi symbol after the swastika.

It's not "something beige", it's unmistakable.
