I've seen people reply to this with "Well actually, he doesn't deny that the holocaust happened" as if they were born yesterday and have never encountered the idea that holocaust revisionism is firmly under the umbrella of holocaust denial. Really just insulting the intelligence of everyone nearby.
Absolutely. Ukrainian Jews made up nearly 1/6th of holocaust victims, they were the second largest nationality after the Polish among those murdered. Somebody denying what was done to the Jews in Ukraine is functionally indistinguishable from somebody claiming the ovens in Auschwitz were fake and it doesn't matter either if he does that out of direct antisemitism or "merely" out of admiration for the worst antisemite the Ukraine had back then.
There's something so vile about these types in particular that try to downplay the brutality, while still maintaining "well something happened, just not like that." The facts are very clear and this kind of revisionism shows why it's important to be as vocal as possible combating narratives like this
