I'm skeptical about the 40 Jewish "heroes" story, like so much that comes out of Zelensky's mouth thats turned out to be a lie. I suspect it's just them running PR so the Ukrainians think Jews are standing with them instead of fleeing to Israel, and to clean up Azov s bad boy Nazi image internationally by saying see, they are fighting shoulder to shoulder with their Jewish brothers! No Nazis here, no siree.

I mean Azov is being completely wiped out and will probably go down as heroic martyrs to the Ukrainians, so Zelensky and his neocon handlers might be trying to insert a myth about heroic Jews taking part in this last stand. Hollywood will probably make a movie about the heroic Jewish defenders of avostal, and no Im not even joking.
