Do you agree with Prince Charles when he compared Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler over his actions in Ukraine?

I think his words was taken out of context as usual in these cases. 
But Prince Charles should know it better, cause his predecessor knew Hitler personally and it seems they was in good relations.

I don't believe he was taken out of context, they where chatting about when Hitler annexed the Baltic coastal Free City of Gdansk, it's no different from what Putin did in Ukraine, so in that sense, he is 100% correct. He is not the only one that thinks this In March, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reportedly said Mr Putin's claim to be be defending ethnic Russians in Crimea was "what Hitler did back in the '30s".
