Russia, Ukraine and Jews
Neither nation has a history of being good to Jews. There's now one interesting bit being discussed. It seems, just before the Russian invasion, a miraculous set of anti-semitic attacks happened in the Crimea and Russia was quick to blame neo-Nazis. However, the local Jews have a different opinion. As pointed out in a Daily Beast article, the Jews think it was Russians using it as a pretext to try to show why they should invade. The local Jews have asked the international community to support the Ukrainian government in Kiev. They point to the fact that the neo-Nazis groups are only a tiny part of the Maidan movement and have no real power in the broad spectrum represented by the people fighting for freedom.
As other articles have pointed out, Putin has faked a lot of other propaganda to justify his invasion. This is another example.
