[Regnum] Russia will continue to defend the truth about World War II. This was stated by presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov.
He noted that in Russia the Victory Parade is broadcast live, and this will continue to be the case. Western media did not broadcast from Red Square, but only covered this event as news.
“Of course, we are trying to convey the truth about World War II and defend this truth. We must continue to do this,” Izvestia quotes Peskov as saying
The Kremlin representative added that none of the countries of the anti-Hitler coalition invited Russian representatives to the festive events dedicated to the Second World War.
As Regnum reported, on May 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at the Victory Parade, said that Western countries are trying to distort the truth about the Second World War, as they are accustomed to building their policies, which are essentially colonial, on hypocrisy and lies. According to him, the West justifies Nazism and engages in revanchism as part of its course aimed at inciting new conflicts. There, monuments to fighters against Nazism are dismantled and Nazi collaborators are placed on pedestals.
The head of state also stated that Russia will always remember and will never forget the common struggle against Nazism and the traditions of alliance. Moscow has never downplayed the importance of the second front and allied assistance.
Western countries would like to forget the lessons of World War II, but in Russia they remember exactly which grandiose battles the fate of humanity was decided. They took place near Moscow and Leningrad, Rzhev, Stalingrad, Kursk and Kharkov, near Minsk, Smolensk and Kiev, Putin recalled.
