Russia intends to hold a serious conversation with American officials in connection with the US distortion of the outcome of the defeat of Nazi Germany and the role of the USSR in this, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
“The attempts to distort the results of the defeat of Nazism and the decisive contribution of our country, which do not stop in Washington even on the solemn days of the general celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Victory, are extremely indignant,” the Foreign Ministry emphasized.
The report said that on the eve of Victory Day, officials in the United States did not have the courage and desire “to at least half-pay the tribute to the undeniable role and the colossal disparate victims that the Red Army and the Soviet people suffered in the name of all mankind.”
At the same time, the Foreign Ministry regretted that this situation clearly discord with the joint statement of the Presidents of Russia and the USA Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, adopted on April 25 on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the historic meeting of Soviet and American soldiers in Elba in 1945.
The foreign ministry added that the Russian side intends to hold a serious conversation on this subject with American officials.
