The three allied countries, then the Soviet Union, the United States and Great Britain. Sitting (for example) Winston Churchill with a cigar, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Josef Stalin at the Yalta Conference in February 1945. A few months later, Nazi Germany was defeated and World War II ended.
Russia accuses the United States of diminishing the importance of the Soviet Union to finally defeat Nazi Germany and the end of World War II in 1945.
The outrage is so great that Moscow wants to have a “serious conversation” with its American counterpart.
“We are extremely outraged by attempts to distort the effect of our country’s decisive contribution,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
This week, a statement came on Facebook from the White House in Washington highlighting the day of victory and the celebration that 75 years have now passed since the end of World War II. The statement mentions only the United States and Great Britain as victors over the Nazis.
The Russian Foreign Ministry states in its statement that the American public “has neither the courage nor the will to pay tribute to the Red Army (Soviet Union Army during World War II), the enormously high number of Soviet deaths and the suffering of the Soviet people in the name of all humanity. “
Moscow, which calls the US statement “remarkably insignificant,” also urges Washington not to make the memory of 1945 a new problem “for our bilateral relations, which is already going through a difficult time.”
Russia previously accused Western Europe, Poland and Ukraine of diminishing the country’s role during World War II.
Around 27 million Soviet citizens died as a result of World War II.
